after some further research and taking a leap of faith i ordered a bag of 50 mini screws in the following size from eBay. items were shipped from china. cost of 50 screws $2.90 USD. shipping was $1.50. price per screw was $0.09!!!!!!!!
in case other's find themselves in my situation (missing screws AND unhelpful fuji customer service), i hope you find my experience helpful.
