Default Solution needed for broken pickup plastic screw

I picked up a used Mi Si Magpie soundhole pickup and while tightening plastic screw it snapped. I have emailed MiSi hoping to get a replacement, but in the meantime, anyone have any ideas? if it was a metal screw I'm sure I could fing one, but plastic, I'm not so sure.
Thank you for any help.

I'd figure out the thread pattern and replace both of them with metal screws.

I’d visit a nearby hardware store. Ace and Lowe’s have decent fastener selections . Steel and plastics. Take the screw with you.

Local hobby store. Many radio controlled aircraft and other systems use plastic screws.
