Slight repost, here's a pic of tools used in cutting and measuring threads on fasteners.

If you have the die for the threads you want to cut, you could buy a kit from Brownell's gun smith supply and make your own screws, scroll down on this link for the kit and refills for flat head screws,

Now I won't go into the different kinds of flathead screws there are, but let's just say, they can have different depth of head for thinner materials. And some have "undercut" heads.
