The screws have a very course thread not like a normal metric or standard thread that was where the problem came in. I guess I could just re-tap them. Screws are also not stainless they appear to be some other metal that has been chromed.

Yes you could re-tap but use caution i'm not sure about the thickness of the screw holes. if you have enough material then go for it. you wouldn't want to crack a hole after you do all that work.
Have you tried going to a hardware store and asking for help. most have a tool to check size and thread pitch.
i would look for a direct replacement before drilling. if you can post a pic of the screw. i would like to see it.

I guess I should have taken more than 2 screws out.. It would appear that they are button head m3x10 the 2 I took out were just very poorly molded tapped or what ever process they use to put threads on screws the rest have normal metric thread but the heads are smaller diameter than all the stainless hardware i have.
