Default C6 door panel fastener question

I was installing some insulation on my 08 C6 behind the door panels. After a couple of weeks the rear part of the arm rest started to squeak like crazy. I looked at the door panel and it was not touching the door. Removed the panel and the nut side was worn. This is the part that goes in the door itself. The fastener looks like a screw and it was not worn at all. I looked at all the auto parts stores, Lowes, Home Depot and a fastener site with no luck. I ordered 4 from the dealer at $6.91 each. Does anyone know where I can get these cheaper. I figure the audio section might be a good place to ask since people probably upgraded their speakers.

Thank you

I could not find them either. What are the part numbers for the door and panel?
When taking off the door panels what are the odds of breaking one?

FYI, I broke 2 clips during removing the panels 3 times per side.
