Are they all the same size? I'm sure I tried taking a screw from a pair of cheap ready readers to replace a screw in a pair of prescription glasses and finding it was a completely different size.
The best thing is possibly to remove the screws from any old pairs you throw away and keep them in a safe place - which reminds me that I threw away a shed load of them about a month ago ... Did I keep any of the screws? Of course not!
I think some opticians do running repairs like this for free - though usually only on pairs they've sold themselves, I guess, though I did have an optician replace a screw that got lost while we were in Minehead few years ago and that was no charge.
Any optician should be able to provide a suitable screw if you ask.
