Techman, I think you're not 'getting it'.
Even our CONSUMER big-box hardwares carry just what you want. Home Depot
(of all places) carries M4-0.7 self-tapping screws.
What you describe as "coarse-thread self-tappers" are truly "sheet metal
screws".

I'm in Australia, our hardware stores are 20 years behind yours! They
don't carry anything like them - only standard sheet metal screws and
self drilling/tapping roofing sheet bolts.
Only 20?
I've found out today I can get them via RS Components.
Oh, darn. That means you won't have the joy of jigging up small
screws into a fixture in your vise and cutting the self tapping groove
with a file on each screw.
