My grips are screwed. (CZ999 Compact)

I've got a Zastava CZ999 Compact. You've read the title, you probably knew that by now. The CZ999 Compact has grips, as most pistols do, and these grips are held down with screws. Screws for a flathead screwdriver. Screws with really shallow heads. I've stripped the one to hell and back, and I'm still having to use it (it's in their by virtue of the tension on the threads. It's literally hanging on by a thread), until I can get a new set from Numrich.
Thing is, I've already got a new set. For a Sig P226. The two are similar in look and feel, and you can even fit a Sig slide on it (won't cycle, though). The set of hex key screws I got, the posts are too short, too narrow, and have too few threads. I didn't think they'd fit, but the set was on sale for five bucks, so it didn't sting so much.
My question is, does anyone know of a way to Red Green these things so that they'll fit the frame? Some kind of epoxy that will fill the screw holes and set with these other screws inside, making hole new wholes (holy hell). What about the screws that were actually made for it? Any way to keep the heads from stripping? Mighta been I was just using a screwdriver with too narrow a head, all that torque being centered in the middle, instead of spread out across the whole screwhead.
