How to buy just the throttle body butterfly bolts?

Like usual, I go to fix one problem on my jeep and create more. Today was no exception... I absentmindedly tightened the wrong bolt when reinstalling the butterfly after cleaning the throttle body. I snapped it clean off but the end is poking out so I could theoretically grab it with pliers to get it out. The other one was fine, I just took it out before the photo because I figured I could easily find two more and suck it up. But I cannot. And I have looked for a while, used Chat GPT and the only thing that comes up is the mounting bolts for the throttle body. Which is NOT what I need. The can of cleaner was 18 bucks, and it is almost all out. I really cannot afford to spend another 200 bucks to get a new throttle body, especially now that the old one is clean. Can anybody point me in a direction of where to get one? I'm really getting discouraged that every time I do something I make some stupid fuck up and ruin it all and need to spend more money. Every project I do, car related or not.

I tried to upload an image, it said an error occurred. I cannot be bothered. Just gonna go sleep the day away.
 
If it was one of these screws, then remove the other one and find a match to it at the hardware store.

If you removed the butterfly valve to clean the throttle body, why did you do that?

Yes it was those screws. The reason I removed it is because the cleaner I bought was junk. I had to scrub the whole thing with a rag to get everything off. I took all of the sensors off too so I would not get the cleaner inside.
