The opening in the hex screw that holds the rear

another one? (Hopefully they have some made of
harder steel.)

That is a standard "Internal Wrenching Bolt" and is
probably available at your nearest Ace Hardware store
in the Metric area.
Tom should go into a specialty fastener store (or just
a good hardware
store) and ask for an "Internal Wrenching Bolt."
Please report back on the look on the proprietor's face.
The proper terminology is "one of them there thangs" :-)

I worked at a mine and one day a guy came into the tool
crib and asked for a part. His description of the part.
"The whatcamacallit that fits on the doohickey that goes
on the thingamajig." I was amazed that the guy in the
tool crib handed him the part he needed. Apparently that
part broke frequently.
A lot of times, not knowing the terminology of bicycle
things makes it very difficult for those who'd like to
help a person with the questions.
Cheers
Old car parts guys are/were much the same. You'd walk in
the door with
this grotty, broken, dirty, hunk of iron, and the guy
would look up
and, from across the room, say "Oh Yes, front steering
knuckle on the
1937 pickup". "Charley! There is one on shelf 113/B".

That just happened to me Saturday. "I've looked
everywhere for..."
"Simplex 503. $1.95"
Or $199.00 elsewhere, I see:

Maybe it wasn't exactly the same?
I don't recall that FD number but the special shaped nut
with an m5x0.75 bolt which holds a rear derailleur adapter
into the axle slot has always been a Simplex 503 here (even
when it's made by SunRace or Shimano).
