Default Targa top bolt ?

My front, passenger side bolt head is stripped. I can only tighten it about half way and the hex driver will start slipping, does anybody know where I can get a replacement bolt?
Have not taken the housing apart yet, is this a special bolt or cn I go down to home depot?

I bought one through my local chevy dealer about 5 months ago. Now I can't find it. It was less than $10 I think. Special order of course.

Gas is about the same as shipping. More fun to drive though.
