My guess is it’s a standard 4mm x .7mm pitch set screw. Take it to the hardware store and see what fits. When you find the right thread size, pick the right length. ---

Then just get a regular screw that’s a bit longer. Cut the head off. Smooth the cut end with a fine file or a sharpening stone. ---

You only have 1 store in town? A 4 mm metric screw shouldn’t be that hard to find. ---

No problem with posting that. The problem is you can’t just buy 1 or 2. ---

Right but you can buy a pack of ten M4 headless threaded studs (admittedly steel but this is fine with a bit of care) for $4. Seems pretty good by me if there’s nowhere nearby to purchase them.
