just go to a Home Depot or Lowes. They have everything you could ever want for tools.

You need a phillips drive size 00. Get one of high quality. Often people blame lousy screws for stripping, but most of the time it's the quality of the drive that causes it. A good tool will maintain proper form under torque and grip without marring. Something by PB, Wera, or Wiha in the $6-8 range for that size should be fine (sorry don't know good US brands).

This is good advice: never cheap out when buying tools.

OR just Smash the puny screws! (any Hulk fans out there?)
