yeah not out of the question there MR. i also think that once you grind back the head of the normal screw, you;d get somethign pretty close tot he pennys screw head. its worth considering.

Chance 'em. At least you can use the Pennys again. Even if you don't create a shoulder. I would think as long as you are careful the arm shouldn't be cut by the threads.

Good luck!

problems with Oakley screws are the head dimensions for one, and the soft materials used. they are terribly hard to find a suitable replacement

Is it possible to call Oakley and see if they have any info on the part number, where they got it from, etc? This would be helpful with all the screws in the X-Metal line.
