Don't we have any engineers here? Jesus, just go out and get some threadlock (Loctite 242 for example) followed by the correct grade of screw, which I would imagine is an M-style - Screw Suppliers Linky Linky, fit them into your handset and hey presto, bobs your uncle, fanny's your aunt, crack on!
Why are you wasting your money on "genuine" Nokia screws? Because you can bet your bottom dollar that Nokia did NOT make them!

'Nokia parts' charge 4 euros for the screws, plus 10 euros shipping. You've not shown anyone a cheaper option here.
The 'nokia parts' link seems to list the correct sizes of screw, if you would care to demonstrate a cheaper option.
The problem I've seen mentioned on other forums with your approach is purchasing the screws of the required size in small quantities.

Why would anyone need to buy screws? This state of the art device will screw itself without you even doing anything! <.<

I mean, just because you use Nokia screws and parts doesn't mean you wont void warranty if you go open it up..
