#10-32 screw in place of an M5
(OP)
I have a block that has an M5 thread in it. We don't carry M5 screw's so I was told to use a#10-32 screw which has a slightly smaller thread but will screw in but feels a little loose. This just feels wrong to me. Am I being overly paranoid or is this a bad idea?

This is MOT a valid solution, and will, if repeated, get you in trouble in the long run. Fix it properly with an M5 threaded fastener.
