Source for locking hub cap screws?

Hello. all.
Began replacing front bearings on my 1991 F250 4x4 diesel and two of the allen head screws were rounded out and I had to drill off their heads to remove the selector cap. Does anyone know a source for these short of a wrecking yard? Or are they a standard size I could find at a decent hardware store? (It's a bit of a drive to the nearest well stocked hardware store so I'm trying to save myself a fruitless trip.)

Thanks.

You can get a service kit that contains new screws and o-rings to do both sides.

Always use a 3/8 drive hand impact tool to loosen them, you will NEVER round another one off
