Shimano ST-6510 Screw Replacement?

I had a bit of a spill on my bike and the name plate cracked but at the same time damaged one of the screws (https://i.imgur.com/3cwciyw.jpg). Does anyone know where you can find screw replacements for these ST-6510 shifters? Does this screw serve any purpose at all and should I even try and get it replaced?

The screw just holds the plastic cover. The cover is largely cosmetic and serves as a dust shield & base to mount the shiny name piece.

I would leave as is. If you're worried about dust you can put a piece of tape over the little rectangular hole. The name piece is now too $$ to replace.
