If I've read that correctly you can get the correct female part but not the male part?

In which case you could buy the female from him and get some ordinary M4 sloted screws from somewhere else?

If you can't get chrome plated raised head screws try stainless steel. I had to use stainless screws when we lost some chrome plated ones supplied with a shower fitting. Looks ok.
