Where are they? In the console? You could drill them out and get new ones from a junkyard, one of the sponsor websites, or prolly a dealer.

Not sure if you know this or not?? But just be carefull, cause alot of those are fake screws. Not that you don't know this, but some people have drilled through thinking it was a stripped screw, when it wasn't. Now they have to replace the panel.
