On a slight tangent from the main gist of this thread, and possibly 2 months too late, but this may be of use to someone.

When I stripped the heads on a screw under the screen, I remember doing some research and I think I came up with M1.4x2.8 M1.4x5 as the two types used. It was over a year ago when I did the research, it might have come from one of the strip down pdfs.
Anyway, I asked googled around and found a place that sold them, but because I only wanted a few, the guy sent me some as samples. (Unfortunately, the ones he had were M1.4x3, so slightly too long, but they did the job).
