Default Parts for a Marlin lever

I’ve got a 1976 ( I think) Marlin lever in a 30-30. Bought it used a couple years ago. On almost all of the screws the slots have been damaged. Wondering if any of you know if and where there is a screw kit to fix this up with. Other than the screws the gun is in pretty good shape.

If you get lucky enough to find Marlin screws then you should invest in the Marlin screwdriver bit set from Brownells. That'll keep them nice forever.

I have been able to resurrect several damaged slotted screws by peening the heads a bit in a vise, then dressing them smooth and rebluing them.
