Both Home Depot and Lowe's have a very good assortment of screws, in
all sorts of sizes. That's where I'll check. However....

The first thing you should want to do, is to fix the holes where the
old screws came out. Get some wood putty, and insert it into the
holes. You will probably need to use a toothpick to get it in.
