In my experience, both Home Depot and Lowes suck for bicycle fasteners. Home Depot sucks way more than Lowes, but both are pretty useless. A proper fastener store is best for having everything, but they often hate you if you are only buying 1. Ebay has essentially everything, but sometimes you have to buy a bag of several. M6x1.0mm 20mm length is something you may use on other things: a stem bolt, mounting a cantilever brake, on some Riv rack eyelets. A bag of 10 for $5.65 shipped is what I'm seeing from this vendor: ebay link <https://www.ebay.com/itm/6mm-M6-x-1-0-Stainless-Steel-SOCKET-HEAD-Caps-Screws-DIN-912-A2-18-8-Coarse/112432406051?hash=item1a2d7e5e23:m:m0XeLjrPfZK-kGEgIjq4OOQ>
That way you don't even need to leave your home. Stock up on all the common sizes and shop from your own inventory.
