Either way, No plans to move away from Huret on this one.
If the dropouts are not threaded (as I said, mine were not, with hole diameter too large to thread M3 x whatever) then it shouldn't be that difficult to remove the broken screw. As I said, I think that there's no harm in using M3 x 0.5 screws. The OD is the same, the plastic is pretty soft and accepting of cross-threading, and yet they seem to hold tenaciously to the finer pitch screws.
