Default Shield Plus optic screws

Hello
Newbie here. I have a shield plus performance center with the crimson trace optic. before I ever fired it I mounted a holosun 507 k2. all was well until a couple hundred rounds later the optic came loose and the threads on the screws were damaged.

I have been tried to determine the screw size and pitch so I can purchase some better screws and a tap so I can chase the threads in the slide. I have not been able to determine the correct size and pitch.

I called S&W, gave them my serial number and they were nice enough to send me new screws in 6-32. this fits an m&p compact just right, but the shield plus is a smaller screw.

Thank you in advance

Some hardware stores have displays on their bolt/nut aisles where you can run your screw into a fixture to determine the size. If yours aren’t too damaged, that may work.

unfortunately the screws are too beat up for that. Thank you for the suggestion.
