Hello,

 I have an old (20 or close ) fossil automatic. I don’t quite remember when or why I bought it but I ended up not liking it too much and not wearing it. 
Now that I am starting the watch making (hopefully more like breaking right now ) hobby I figured I could get into it see what was the movement and practice on it. 
The problem I had was in opening the back. It is held by tiny Phillips head screws most went fine but one wouldn’t come and the cross shape of the head became so damaged from my trial that it was unusable. 
With one screw only holding the case I could force it open I am not sure what deformed, the case back hole or the screw head but one gave way. 
I could then remove the damaged screw with plyers. 
So now my question is do you think I can find a screw to replace that broken one?  Not that I intend to where the watch but I’d still prefer to reassemble it completely including the case
