They're self tapping screws designed for plastic, but I've no idea where you'd find a suitable replacement.
Normal self tappers could work, but as they've got thicker threads, the extra thickness/pressure can cause the plastic to split.
Personally, looking at the photo, I'd find a good torx bit the correct size, tap it in with a hammer, and re-use the screws, as the damage doesn't look that bad.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.
