Too late for you, but PBTech sometimes have smaller screws (the sizes that hold laptops n' stuff together). Bunnings etc have nothing in that regard.

pretty sure you'l find those are all threaded bolts not wood screws, I had similar trouble finding pickguard screws in general shops they just don't carry anything, has to be guitar specific part it seems

Problem solved - used an old pick and cut some washers out of it
