Willyd; You might try a 1/4 loveless screw, the bolt section will be smaller than 1/4, by how much I don''t know as I use 1/8 and 3/16 loveless screws.
I don't know why you can't use a 3/16? I always use small screws, the epoxy or acraglass will fill in the slop. I've never had a failure. You can also use 3/16 tubing as well, I had some stainless I made mosaic pins from.


You can call Jephco Supply and tell them your problem as basically you have a 6mm clearance hole. Jephco makes their own screws, no made in China hardware. They're the only place I can get 1/8" loveless screws from. There is a possibility that on their 3/8 loveless bolt the bolt might be smaller than .238. Also check out their corby's as the shaft is smaller than the ends.
