Which replacement screw do I need?

Was replacing the Superdive of my MacBook Pro and stripped the screw on the bracket that holds the drive in place. What replacement screw do I need to replace it with once I get it out? Attached an image for reference. Thanks!

Jesus…I’ve seen prices from $15-$40 for a 5-pack of these screws. Anybody got a spare they can ship me? I’ll pay for shipping.

Jonathan Fleming the issue with the screw dimensions is that iFixit follows that bad example Apple has started. The screw length is the one that is listed but not the threat size. So 3.9mm (actually Apple used 3.5mm screws for that) is the length only. The screw is Apple part number 922-8974 and it is a M1.6x0.35mmx3.5mm (obviously metric and 0.35mm is the pitch).
