Anybody know where I can get saddle screws for a 2019 Player JM bridge? Thanks

Throw the saddle out and install a Staytrem or Mastery Bridge.

What about an American Pro? Can’t get a Staytrem here, and Mastery would require resizing the thimble holes I think.

The Player JM has the 0081239001 Korean metric bridge ...

Also goes by 0081239049 ...

Usually comes with 8mm/10mm M3 grub screws. They can be too long for many saddle setups, digging into your hand. The fix is to move the 8mm ones in place of the 10mm, and add 6mm ones in place of the 8mm. All over ebay for a couple of bucks ... eg

If by chance you meant the intonation screws instead of the height screws, those are M3 18mm as supplied. Which can also be too long (eg the ends can foul the strings). Replace with M3 16mm, which is closer to their length on MIA Imperial offset bridges.
