For over a year, it was impossible to sufficiently tighten my screw to keep it from slowly backing out. I eventually lost the screw, and based on my past discussion with the parts guy at a local Toyota dealership and old posts on here, it was clear the screw was not available from Toyota.

A week ago, I was in the dealerships to pick up some other parts, and on a whim, I asked about the screw. The parts guy said he was as almost certain to wasnt available because he remembered calling local hardware stores trying to find replacement screws for customers. We were both surprised when he discovered he could order the screw.

As for the replacement screw, it appears to be a longer length than the old screw. Ad an added bonus, whether due to additional length or some other cause, the screw is remaining tight in my remote.
 
It was always available.
