I need this but longer
So I have a small box and I lost two of these screws, I need replacements, longer cuz the wood got stripped, but no hardware store I’ve seen carries them. Do you know where I can get them?

Does This Fastener Exist?
I thought for sure that this fastener existed, but I have not been able to find it off the shelf. It is a simple bolt, with a load bearing shoulder offset from the end and a retainer groove on the end of the shank. Its use case for me is to adjust and apply pressure to a countersunk plate while retaining the plate when not under load. I am flexible on the specifics, it could be retained with a cotter pin or anything else. I made this on a lathe just to demonstrate.
This same idea could also be achieved using a bunch of nuts and washers on a stock bolt, but it would be a lot less elegant. I tied up a support engineer from Misumi yesterday for the better part of an hour looking for this, to no avail. The closest example I can find is this specialized automotive accessory: https://www.performancebodies.com/products/wehrs-quick-release-swivel-screw-jack-bolt-only?srsltid=AfmBOorWnKhWlx7rUb8vTdxy7fuuud_PX5ammEd78n6RpSdtIgVMm_2O
Has anyone ever seen this before? My best attempt at nomenclature has been all variations of "Captive Shoulder Screw" or "End-Retained Shoulder Bolt with Reduced Shank" but it hasn't gotten me anywhere. Any advice?

Replacement Philips M2 4,4mm screws ? Does this exist or am I mistaken?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find replacement screws for a small electronic device (a PS Vita) due to me stripping the Torx screws which were previously holding a component together with the board.
The issue is, I know almost nothing about screws and since I'm now deathly afraid of those Torx screws I had to remove with a specialized pliers tool, I'm looking for Philips replacement screws of the same diameter instead, since it seems later revisions used this instead of the Torx ones.
According to iFixit I'm looking for Philips #00 of 4,4 milimeters, and I think it has to be "M2" as well ; but I can't seem to find those screws in 4,4mm, only 4mm!
Am I mistaken, should I actually use 4mm screws or do these actually exist but are highly specialized?
Thanks in advance for the help!

This might be a long shot but anyone know what this screw is called?
It attaches the handle to my crockpot lid. It’s stripped pretty badly because water gets stuck under the lid when you wash it and the previous owner took the handle off every time to dry it. I usually let it sit out until it’s fully dry. I tried looking on Crockpot’s website but this model is too old, I think. I don’t want to get a new crockpot because there’s nothing actually WRONG with mine, but if I can’t replace this part, I might have to. Any help would be appreciated! TIA
