Default Throttle body help

I ended up swapping out the 98/99 shaft with a 2000 blade on my throttle body and getting the screws out of the shaft was an absolute pain in the butt. The screws ended up stripping out, so I went to the hardware store in search for some, and I cannot seem to find the right size screw. If anyone knows where I can find a few, or know the exact specs that would be great. Thanks a lot

I had the same thing happen when I tried to remove mine. I don't know if yours is the same situation, but I tried using an allen wrench and it is actually a torx bit type screw (which explains why mine partially stripped, d'oh). Once I used the proper tool, they popped right out. I ended up buying a TB off the for sale board, and am not using the 2 screws from the original shaft (out of a 2000 T/A). I'm pretty sure they are still usable, if you need them, let me know.
