If your hardware stores aren't sufficiently well stocked then try an engineering supplier like Oddbolt.

Just be certain you know what you're asking for:

 

ISOmectric coarse thread M2.5x0.45 is probably what you're after

(core diameter 1.948, pitch 0.45)

but 6 or 7 BA come close to 2.5mm OD.

UK? Try Yellow Pages for fastener suppliers - they usually have a trade counter that will sell individual set screws.

 

Warning: if you use an HT screw and thread an expensive casting, thebn it's the casting that'll need replacing. Just a thought.

 

For some screws - particularly metric fine, then electronics stores can be vry good; the downside is that you'll usually end up with something cadmium-plated, rather than black.

 

HTH :)
