Default TPS replacement bolt size

I successfully took the TPS off my 04 F150 4.6 however the PO did a good job of stripping one of the bolts (I was able to remove it by jamming a bigger torx size on it and using my impact). Does anyone know what size and/or where I can buy replacement bolts? I went to O Reillys and came up empty, they suggested Fastenal but I'd like to get lucky and pick one up at Lowes or somewhere.

Take the other bolt with you to the local hardware store.. Match it up.. If you have a tractor supply close by they have an awesome selection of bolts.

No Tractor Supply close to me but there is a Lowes. Unfortunately after I posted this I realized my 4.6 was one of the few made at the Windsor plant and therefore uses a different TPS (I should have remembered that since I use the FL 400S oil filter). The TPS for the engines made in the Windsor plant appear to come with new bolts. Hopefully thats the case since it cost $20 more than the other one

Thanks for the feedback though!
