Replacement screws for back cover?

I forcefully removed the back cover from my wife's MacBook to replace the hard drive using a set of jeweler's Phillips head screwdrivers. Some came out relatively easily (the ones that were actually that type of screw head) but others were terribly rounded out. Does Apple (or anyone) sell a set of replacement screws? I need to upgrade the RAM and I'd like to replace them this time with a set that are in good condition, in case I ever need to open it up again.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Here's a set: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Apple-Ma...

With the money you saved on screws you might want to get the right tools so this won't happen again: [linked product missing or disabled: IF145-022]

Thank you for the link and the good advice. I recently purchased a full set of tools so that it won't happen again.

Apparently, Apple has a free replacement program for the MacBooks where you just submit the serial number of the computer and they ship replacement screws and a screwdriver. Here's a link to the program page:

That program is for the rubber bottom case of MacBooks shipped between October 2009 and April 2011 that have bubbled up.
