I've heard various terms for these and I'm having difficulty locating them without knowing the proper name. Can I have some help with this matter?

I had to buy some once. I'm sure I just searched ebay/Google for Capitol holder replacement screws.
Edit: I just did a quick search on ebay. I got lots of listings, many of which reference "screws and posts".
This. Had to buy some as well. Wizard supply helped me out with that
You can find them on eBay.

I probably got mine from Wizard, as well.
They come in clear plastic or aluminum, as I recall.
I will add that the old screws can get yellow and brittle so you might consider replacing all of them on a holder at the same time so they'll match.
The technical name for them is "binding barrels".
They come in a lot of different dimensions, and in different metals/materials:

They're commonly known as Chicago screws.
Such a well-designed thing as the Capitol Plastics holder deserved better than such cheap screws that hold it together.
