Sorry blue I can't really help u any further as I'm in another country!
The only solution I say would be bite the bullet and spend the 20 online.
At least u will have for the future and you never know when u will need it.
Actually u could use a normal drill bit and the screw should create its own thread marks. It might be a little bit tighter to use while doing it but try using a little bit of bearing oil to try and ease it
