Take a sample to a local fasteners supplier , they will match tensile strength for like . DO NOT use any old bolt as the torque required to fasten the bolt may well snap or stretch beyond the yield point a lower tensile bolt .

You can even ask for cap head socket ( Allen ) Torx or any other style as suits your whim of the day , along with metal finishes .

Had the same on the front calipers of my 240. My local dealer was able to supply with about 3 days delivery time.
As I had no rush for the car, I waited for the OEM.

Price wasn't too bad either. At least you know they will fit.

Sounds like you need a different dealer, they can order them in easily!
