I always use them in customer engines, and if the old ones get mangled I order new set screws from Ray at Malloy Mazda, 888 533 3400.
Presumably Mazda had a reason for going to the trouble of using them.

i have heard of people using loctite on the bearing instead, and I once built a motor without one because I couldnt find it and it was a crap motor anyway, never had a problem with that engine. BUT I wouldn't recommend leaving them out, there is a lot of thermal expansion in these engines and you don't want that bearing to spin and ruin your motor all because of a stupid setscrew.
