Replacement Sansui headshell screws

Hello all,
I need some help. I have two original Sansui headshells for my Sansui SR 636 and both are in need of replacing the screw that adjusts the azimuth. They were stuck in there pretty tight and after some judicious use of wd-40, I managed to get it undone. Unfortunately, the screw head is mangled so I don't think it would be wise to reuse. Does anyone know where to find replacements? I measured the dimensions as follows:
Head diameter:3mm
Head thickness: 2mm
Shaft length: 9mm
Shaft diameter: 1.5-1.6 mm

I am still trying to figure out thread dimensions but if anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. I would imagine they're nonmagnetic, like aluminum
Thanks!!

May want to look into using an Yamamoto headshell as replacement while you go about repairing the Sansui ones.

Several models of the Yamamoto headshell also have azimuth adjustment capability. :)
