This is rather odd.  I live in a small city in western Virginia.  I can
travel four miles to a local hardware store and find all sorts of odd
metric screws, and, yes, they sell the smaller sizes one by one.  I've not
looked for this size, but I suspect that they would have it.  And even my
small area hss a couple of "industrial fastener" companies.

You guys might want suport your local economies and stay off the Internet!
