Rcscrewz is good idea in concept, but the SS screws are actually softer than most quality kit screws. A good quality 12.9 screw is about as ideal as you can get in our situation.
Basically 12.9 steel (typically "black oxide") > stainless > aluminum
A very common misconception that those are actually an "upgrade" in many situations.
