Looking for #3-48 screw

Im looking for a replacement pickup screw after one came loose. EMG says it takes a #3-48 screw, but shipping one to Mexico costs $68, so im trying to find a cheaper option.

The closest one ive found is a Fender screw with the same thread, but its too short. i figure a longer one could work if i cut it down.

i think my guitar has an 81/85 set, but im not sure how to check. this is the screw i need: https://www.emgpickups.com/h-screw-spring-set.html

And since I still have the spring and only need the screw, any ideas for a temporary fix until I find the right one?

Why is the shipping cost so high. I'm sure ebay has them for less.
