I think he is looking for screws and not screw-drivers.

Try computershops or laptop repairshops. If you have a sample you can even try engineering supply shops like Bolt & Nut.

Try the Big Orchard - they're somewhere in Gallo Manor. Check the apple section here - I advised someone to try them and he found them on a simple google.

Oh, one other thing - they're not all the same so be very specific about the holes.

I've used them several times and everything I ordered arrived with no issues. However, their delivery times are not the greatest. I'm not sure if they have changed their delivery options since I used them last but they only gave me one delivery option (free) and it took 6 weeks to get here. I ordered a caddy for my MacBook Pro, an iPhone toolkit etc and everything went smoothly.
