The dealership will hit you up for around $10-$12 for a bolt. I got lucky when I stripped 1 of mine out. I Went to my dealer and they looked it up and he actually said to me "wow, that's an expensive bolt" I said yep, but I need it so I can I can get my bike together so I can come to bike night in a few days(bike night at the shop). He went to the back room and grabbed a bolt and said here ya go, put it in your pocket, See ya Thursday for bike night! I said many thanks and I will be there! I love my dealership, they take care of me pretty good!

Yes, a hardware store. That way you get the same quality bolt for a fraction of the price. Oh, and you don't have to get another torx bolt.
