Front license plate screw size?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I've recently been looking into ways to enhance the security of my front license plate to prevent theft. It's unfortunate how easily license plates can be stolen, and I'd like to take measures to make it more secure.

One idea I had was to replace the front license plate bolt with something more robust and tamper-resistant. However, I'm not sure about the exact size of the front license plate bolt. Does anyone happen to know what size it is or have experience upgrading it for added security?
 
Same question. I purchased a used, 2020 Model 3. It came with a plastic bracket, attached to the front bumper for a license plate. Unfortunately, it did not come with screws to mount that license plate.
Does anyone know what size screws to use? #10 (ish)? Thread forming? How long?

Not sure of the exact diameter size, but they are self tapping (not machined thread).
The Tesla PN is 1123007-00-A and the length is ~3/8".
If I had to guess the diameter (including the thread, it'd be around ~3/16").
