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.
