Take it to a hardware store and see what size screw fits. Look for a set screw the same size. If you have to, get a regular screw and cut the head off. Smooth the cut end.

There are many types of threads and within those types there are threads per inch count. You will probably strip your yoyo if you try random axles

Not if you don’t force it. :-/ If it’s not going in easily, it’s the wrong screw.

It’s probably an M4 of some variety. That’s your starting point.

Yep, given that it’s a recent Duncan model M4 is a likely candidate.
