Slow kid gets smart... I believe I found the 2 Start Screws at McMaster-Carr:

McMaster-Carr Part Number: 99030A315

Sadly I pre-ordered my ACME Screws in single start:

McMaster-Carr Part Number: 93410A608

Ultimately I think it'll be cheaper to buy new anti-backlash leadnuts than new screws.

All screwed up,
