edit, I read the question wrong.

If you are replacing them, do what I did and just buy an assortment of machine screws.

It's amazing how soft those screws get... Get something with a hex head. I'd even go stainless if you can find them.

Screw pitch must be the same or they only work once.

That is an odd size 4x.07mm I would think it would be 4x1.0mm, but eh, I never tried measuring one. Let us know what works out.
