Throwing those screws away was always the best choice even if they weren't damaged. I remember back in my motocross days, the local shops used to sell hex head replacement kits.
Funny story
About 6 months ago, I decided I liked my Vessel crosshead drivers so well that I jumped on Amazon and ordered a set that had flat and crossheads so I could take my Crapsman drivers to work. In a rare Amazon shipping snafu, the order got damaged and was delayed.
I was showing the Amazon link to a friend who also likes nice tools and he asked if I could order a set for him so I did.
Then a week later, Amazon told me my 1st order, was cancelled so I ordered again and got them in the usual 2 days. I had now ordered the same set 3 times in 3 weeks.
Then, a week after all this, Alexa lit up and told me, "Based on your order history, you might need to order a Vessel screwdriver set." 😎
