Millet scope ring screws?

All my scope rings (Millet and UTG, mostly) seem to take the same screw, so far. The heads take a 3mm hex bit. And the OD of the threaded part is 154 mils. Anyone know a source for these? A cursory search brings up some screws for Sako/Ruger rings that have torx heads. And Brownells sells some assorted kits with torx heads.
The reason I'm asking, I have a scope mounted in Millet rings, and the screws won't stay put. The most troublesome screw finally died from the repeated tighetning. The head gave out.
The interesting thing is I replaced it with an unused screw I got along the way with a bigger head (same threading and bit). I had to turn it down to get the head to fit in the countersink on the ring. But once I got that screw in, it seems that for the time being the scope screws are staying put. Better than before, so far. Maybe that first screw is acting like the lynch pin, or something.
I figure replacing the rest of the screws might just help, and it sure wouldn't hurt to have some extras. I'm even wondering if maybe peening the threads a little might help, but I don't want to try that without some spare screws. I already tried locktite and have put some rubber strips between the scope and rings.
