Default Screw size for front derailleur limit screws

I was working on my beater bike and one of the front derailleur limit
screws went flying. I still have the spring.

Anyone know the screw size?

Shimano but the model is worn off. It's on a very old (1980's) Univega
"Range Rover 18" steel; hybrid

The front shifter control was destroyed and I had been using it as a six
speed. I finally replaced the front shifter and it works fine and even
on the large chainring doesn't shift any further so the chain doesn't
come off.

at the very least.

Also
https://www.amazon.com/ChgImposs-Imp...8245390&sr=8-3
or something similar.

I'm not necessarily endorsing those companies, but ISTM anyone doing
bike work should have tools like those.
