It is usually called a break-off screw and should be available from most hardware or electrical supply stores (Lowes, Home Depot, etc). It is usually an 8-32 thread and can be snapped off at various lengths as needed. It can also just be replaced by a regular machine screw of the right thread and length.

The only successful orchid bloom to ever happen at my house. This guy has been sitting in the kitchen window for years. This year it decided to bloom.

Not the same, it screws through three different openings and helps pull each tight. It's for two piece center caps on an old set of racing dynamic wheels

Toyota 2GR-FE timing guide pieces, as removed from the oil pan.

Engine made "a loud metallic groaning noise" then stalled on the highway. Cannot rotate with a breaker bar.

*feels smug about preferring timing belts*

GM 1.4 turbo bellhousing pattern.  Pulling the engine is the easy way to do a rear main seal.

Ecotec bellhousing pattern. 

Pulling the engine is the easy way to do a rear main seal.

This O ring seals the main oil gallery to the rear main seal plate on a Honda J series V6 and is the usual cause for an oil leak in the bellhousing.  Easiest with engine out etc.
