Your local hardware store is going to have a wide assortment of metric fasteners. Just take one of yours in and match it up.
The original screws would have been Philips pan-head screws, but for this and most other applications I will buy flanged hex head bolts which come in a 10.9 strength. |

It is listed in "Without Guesswork" as M6 Philips head screw at the bottom of Page 106.
