I cannot remember this ever being an issue with the K1 which uses 
similar screws, nor with the pan-head screws on the K2.  The K1 is often 
used for portable backpack use where moisture could be an issue. This 
suggests that Elecraft could be supplying screws from an alternative 
vendor for the K3.

As an alternative to the suggested stainless steel, are there any brass 
100 degree countersunk screws available?  If so, they could be less 
expensive.
