    Yis boy Tap em ,
    If you don't have a 5-40 tap just cut a slot in the end of a 5-40 screw with a dremel (I use hex head screws for better fit with a driver) ...Not sure if you ever noticed Seymour Duncan humbuckers. some of there standard humbuckers are like this .

      I bought a tap, but using a pole screw and just cutting a notch out is a great idea...
      hex screw is even better as they don't slip

        If your tap is a 5-40, and you are using screws that are actually metric?
        The metric screw will be a little loose, cause it is a bit smaller.

            I tap mine with a tap in a cordless, it is much easier and faster.
            But, do whatever works for you.
            I have some notched phillip screws that work good too.
