#Swapping hot end screws (m2)

I had to take apart my hot end because it was leaking filament. The two little m2 screws are kind of stripped and caked in PLA so I want to put in new screws. I have a box of alloy steel screws on hand, I was wondering if those are okay to use? I ask because the screws that came with the hot end are clearly not the same kind of steel as my replacements (the box says 12.9 grade alloy steel). It's an ender 3 s1 pro with the sprite extruder pro if that matters.

Yes, you can use the alloy steel screws from your box as replacements for the stripped screws in your hot end. The grade (12.9) indicates the hardness and strength of the screws, which should be sufficient for securing the components of your hot end. Just ensure that the size and length of the new screws match the ones you are replacing.
