I have a Sapphire X800 XT PE. Does anyone know what size the two screws holding the heatsink retention thing are? I had to really mangle one of them to get it off(couldn't find the right size screw driver apparently). Now it's hard to try to thread it back in.

Or alternatively does anyone have extra screws?

probably #0 or one of the smaller jeweler sized screwdrivers.
 
I friggin hated those screws on the X800 backplate. Stripped the hell outta mine...

I ended up buying a third party cooler.

Thats a good suggestion
 
That's the type of retention that was on my X800XT AIW. I have a little screwdriver kit that has several of the small philips and flat blades in it...the kind that has them small enough for eye glass screws. I simply used the largest one in that set; it's a bit smaller than even a small screwdriver with the regular handles. I had no problems at all getting the screws out on mine.

However, a third party cooling solution may not be a bad idea anyway.
