Maybe one of those eye glass repair kits might have a screw small enough. Your other option would be Amazon they sell the keys uncut with the shell for $6.99. You can use the screw that came with the shell.
I bought 2 uncut key shells on EBay for $3.33 each with free shipping. Worth it to have an extra laying around in case your key breaks.
I would think a RC hobby shop would have an assortment of these small screws.

The seller replaced my key like that when I bought my 100 in March and by August the new shell was already cracked and the screw was gone.
I know its currently unavailable, but I replaced it with this $10 upgrade shell from Amazon and its held up really well. Held together with four screws as opposed to one, its a lot more robust than OEM. The buttons/chip comes out of the OEM remote easily, and you either have to melt the old shell to get the metal key part out, or have a new one made. It comes with some shims to secure the key part, and I also put some Loc-Tite in there for good measure. For me its been a complete solution to the problem. Hopefully it'll be available again soon.

Check out YotaMD.com - Home. He's on Mud, HIH supporter and a nice guy. He 3D prints a fob solution.
Looks like there are others available from the same company. Ditch that OEM key before it falls apart and you lose the buttons with the chip, which causes all kinds of problems.

I went to ACE and they had a screw that worked just fine. Took a while to find though, but worth the 25 cents.
Maybe the screw off a cheap fob from your auto parts store might work?
You just looking for the screws that hold those together? I totally forgot that I have the actual part number with one extra left with another shell just in case I need it so I figured a picture with the part number might be helpful.
