Stripped Crown Guard Screws

[HammerTime]

Recently, as I wound my Angus PAM127, I noticed the crown guard was loose. After attempting to tighten the screws and upon further inspection, I discovered one of the screws was stripped (It does not appear that the holes in the case are stripped, although it is difficult to tell). I have e-mailed Angus (Pure Time) three days ago but have yet to get a response. Two questions:

1. Where can I get replacement crown guard screws? Can you get them at alternative (i.e., non-watch) sources? If so, what are these sources?

2. In the event procuring screws is impossible, what is the best way to fix stripped screws (if there is a way)?
