IHP 35 .22cal , Side screw problem

[Rex1586]

hey everybody, , my IHP's right side screw hole , is worn out due to over tightening of the screws i guess , the little curved washer just below the wood has actually made the hole on the wood bigger & deeper , the screw falls and the rifle makes a squeaky noise every time i try to cock the rifle , but i tried to search a nut for screw in the hardware stores near by , and failed to find a nut of the same size, here is a pic to give you guys an idea of whats going on ...

Use cup washers of the appropriate size.
