If you don't need it to look precisely as it was -Bunnings stores a lot of bolts of every description. Unless you travel a lot with the tripod ( I wish I could) you set it once and forget. So does not matter if the bolt has a hex head, for example.
Metal shavings are more likely to be from the tripod thread - it's material is softer. Be careful not to seize that thread again - use a bit of grease to lubricate it and do not over-tighten the bolt. Better have the setting lost than have a "fun" fixing the tripod.
Cheers!
