I got a new tailgate the other day, the one that fits 08-16. I had to buy the access panel and ford wants $6/screw for the panel. Can someone please provide me w an alternative I can pick up from the hardware store?

They’re metric screws, the size I don’t recall right off hand, I just suggest going down to the hardware store and buy a few different sizes and try them out until you find the right ones. Try a M6 panhead.
