The SX is gonna be metric, probably M3 but there is a larger size than might be M4 but is not the common M4 70 pitch.

Your issue will be 10mm or 6mm height screws. Nothing inbetween is readily available. So I tapped every last useable 3 barrel Tele saddle out to 6-32 and I get my 316 stainless hardware from McMaster Carr. The height screws come in 32nd increments from 7/32nds to 3/32nds.

Now I will in the future need some inexpensive springs, not made in China of course. Some springs that fit on the import saddles are a hair too small for 6-32nds.
