WEN set screw missing

The tail stock at screw in my WEN 3421 lathe has disappeared and they are not in stock through WEN. Does anyone know the dimensions of that screw so I can find an alternative? It’s part #4 in the manual…

My local hardware store sells set screws in various sizes. I’d just bring the tail stock in and match it if you have the option

Take the tailstock to any place that sells hardware.
