i wrote to Yamaha with a view to get them to issue replacement adjusters instead of writing off the whole fork lower - here's their response:
Thank you for your email, regarding the Front Forks on your 2004 model Yamaha FZS1000, the details of which have been noted for our files.
We have in this instance referred your enquiry to our Parts and Accessories Department, who has advised, that due to its design, the Compression Damping Adjusting Screw, is not available separately.
We thank you for taking the time to contact as and hope the above may clarity your enquiry.
