that would make sense in that it seemed not right for a philips. either way its got a stripped head though and I will be just getting something of the same size and thread with whatever head has it. probably philips. oh but I kinda wonder if its more likely to be metric then.
If you don’t have a thread gauge, you should be able to take the screw to Home Depot/Lowes or the hardware store and use their thread gauges or just find a nut that fits it to determine the proper size and thread pitch.
It probably is metric as it seems most hardware is these days even if it’s made in the US.
It could be a JIS screw and not a Phillips. I think I even see the dimple in the upper right side.
JIS is what those really shallow “Phillips” screws are? TIL, thanks!

yeah I have used them. usually I try the us system one first but Im gonna try metric first assuming this is japanese origin for the screw.
