One of the screws for my GE panel cover is stripped out. Are those screws
available, can I just use any old screw as a replacement - so long as it
fits of course?

I don't have the model for my panel unfortunately, it isn't clearly marked -
TRP1210? it takes TQL breakers.

for sure.

Yup, it's my main panel. For some reason I was expecting to have to replace
the screws with some odd, off-the wall screw that met stringent UL
requirements or some damn thing.

The thread is standard and will match up to various screw head types at the
hardware store. You want a "truss head" to match the old one.

OK if it fits. If the threads in the panel are stripped you will have
to tap out to the next larger size.
