Like previously stated, Lowes and HD don't carry 1/8" here where I live either. I found it at a local lumber yard. Don't know if lowes might order it. My experience with Lowes is they don't help with items like that unless they can make a large profit. Talk to the local stores.
As for screws you could go with SS but that gets expensive. I think if you replace them with plated/painted head screws and keep it sealed up the screw won't corrode too much as long as it is dry.
I keep several different sizes and types of square drive screws so I have them when I need them. I have bought them from Bontragers surplus in Michigan every time we travel through. I buy a lot of my RV repair materials there. They usually have reasonable prices and if they don't have what you need there are several other surplus stores in that area.
They also sell some items online. Not sure if it's still worth the effort when you pay shipping.
