Thank you for this guide! Is there any way to obtain replacement screws for the outer perimeter of the keyboard? I’ve recently disassembled my XPS 9530 and found one of the screws is very stripped, I managed to get it out but it really shouldn’t be put back in due to the state of the head.

I’m struggling to find replacements for the size quoted. Are they Phillips M2 3mm silver screws?
