TPS removal tips?

I'm trying to replace my TPS because it keeps throwing intermittent codes.

Last night, I was trying to remove it but I keep stripping the head of the screw. I don't want to take the throttle body off but I might have to given that I keep stripping the head. I'm going to give it another try tonight but I might just go ahead and use a screw extractor on it.

Before I use a screw extractor, I want to buy replacement screws. Does anyone know the thread pitch for those screws? I want to replace those screws with bolts so I don't run into this issue again.

You might find bolts, I used socket head cap screws (allen head). Sorry I don't remember the thread size. I think 4crawler sells them on his site:

BTW while you're at it replace the MAF screws too (should be the same size threads)
