Any place that had a good quality hardware selection should have something in stock. I have a huge bag of stainless Phillips head screws that are the same size and thread. I have used them in the past. I have also used a drill to open up the inset hole so they don't seize up as easily again.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Thats why you take a spare (to match it up) with you to the nut and bolt suppiler. The fastenal store is 13 miles away from you. Washington In.

Those invisible bolts might work if you use the force to put them in.
