Crazy CPU fan screws

My CPU fan screws became badly stripped and I really need to find new ones. Problem is... I can't find any. Does anyone know where can I get them from? Checked a few DIY shops and computer hardware shops without success. They got case fan screws, but none for the CPU fan...
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you know anyone who's cpu is effectively fried and plans on getting a new one with fan and all that? Maybe you could scavenge from them?

Just did some light searching, are any of the products here what you're looking for?

Likewise, you could also look here

Hoping I given you some helpful places to look, as I'm not 100% sure what the difference is. I've never had to replace any screws, always had what I needed, either in the box, or already in my computer.

They are for the 30mm x 10mm fans (3mm width of screw).
Found what I'm looking for on the second site.

I tried googling before, but it seems that all I can find are screws for the bigger case fans.

Thief 4 could be awesome. I enjoyed Thief 3, though it had nothing on 1 & 2.
