Hi guys, straightforward question in title. Didn't manage to find the right tensions for my cyclone boys G4 before a couple stripped so what screws from other cubes can fit in it? Or what size screw could I order off of amazon that would work (I have no knowledge of screws)?

I have the same issue, but I got around it by using a small flathead screwdriver and pressing really hard on the screw when turning it. That allowed me to tighten two of the stripped sides. For the last side that was really stripped I used the trick where you put a rubber band in between the screwdriver and screw, which gave it enough grip to turn. I know it's not what you asked for, but if these tips work then maybe you can save some money on screws.
Also, I've heard the Cyclone Boys uses a really weird screw, so if you really need a replacement you might need to go to the cubicle and get the replacement parts for quite a bit of money.
 
1. Add a small drop of superglue on the screw and shove it in (works great but you cant change the tensions afterwards)
2. or wrap a small piece of paper on the screw, and screw it in
3. Replace the core
