Default Longer Screws for Single DIN Mount

Hi,
​​​​​​. So I bought a Sony DSX-M55BT, based on a lot of information on this forum, Saddle Tramp radio cover and Biketronics controller. All is fine, except the screws for mounting the radio in the single DIN are a bit too short. Picked up some M5 screws, based on the Sony instructions, they are to large in diameter, will not start in the radio mounting holes. Anyone know a size that will work in the Sony or other radio chassis? I expect they are pretty standard at this point, but any real world experience is much appreciated!

So take the screws that DO fit(but are too short) and go to the local hardware store and match them up(screw pitch) but longer

That is what I tried, but the thread on the supplied screws is a much coarser pitch than anything I found at the hardware store and the diameter on the ones I found that were supposed to work, per Sony's manual, were not the right size.
