Torx bolts attaching starter solenoid

Does anyone know what size and length these bolts are? I need to replace one on my starter because the torx star in the head is stripped. I had to hammer an Allen hex tool into the head to remove it. I have it holding snug for now and the other bolt is fine. I need to replace the stripped head bolt with a new one but I can't seem to find anyone online that sells them. I was thinking if I knew the size of it I could even replace it with a stainless flush mount Phillips screw. I checked the online factory Ford parts list and to my frustration there was no call-out on it.
I don't want to want to mickymouse fix this thing as I will be selling the truck later this year and I never want anyone needing to fix stuff I didn't do right in the first place.

I have a new solenoid for it that has a stud for the terminal instead of the crappy spade terminal like it has now. I've had so many issues with it that I ended up soldering the starter wire so it would get me through the winter. I'm going to replace the entire wire when I change out the old solenoid because it has signs of corrosion. At least the starting system will one less thing the new owner will need to worry about.
That's why I need a new bolt for the solenoid.
