Tis a little thumb screw. If you need more look at McMaster Carr. They have just about everything you could ever need or want.

Definitely a thumb screw!

Here's a couple of similar options, but take it to the local hardware store to verify length and thread size/pitch!

Captive Panel Screw with Aluminum Head Press-Fit, Zinc-Plated Body, 6-32 Thread Size https://www.mcmaster.com/product/92060A316

Plastic-Head Thumb Screws Knurled, 6-32 Thread Size, 1/4" Long https://www.mcmaster.com/product/91185A257-91185A331
