Hey guys, I stripped this screw the other day. Could somebody please either tell me what it is called, or send me a link to a Fender name brand set on amazon? Thank you!

It's a bridge intonation screw.
Depending on which you need, Fender's part number 001-5693-000.

If you're in need of one a little quicker, I'd pull one of the good ones out and take it to a hardware store for a replacement.

Check Angela.com or darrenriley. Both of them carry lots of Fender parts.

Here's darrenriley's Fender screws pages:

Thanks for the replies, I think I have found it. I should have mentioned, the guitar is an American Special. Is this the correct part in the photo below? Have you guys ever heard of this site? Thanks again for your help.

I never thought about the saddle being broken. Do they sell those as a kit?

EDIT Thanks Badger, I would have never known about the saddle being stripped if you hadn't said anything. I have ordered an entire kit.

You would need to buy the saddles and screws together which you can do, but in a set of six. eBay has them as do all of the other usual suspects.

Also, I have ordered a few times from the site you mentioned. No problems with any of the orders.

So it was the threads in the saddle that were stripped? I only asked because it's often the 'female' portion of such a connection that gets stripped, rather than the screw itself. The saddle is what would be bearing the tension.

Anyway, sounds like it's working out.

Yes, it was the saddle. I wouldn't have known without you guys' help. I just ordered a set of 6 from my local mom and pop guitar shop. Thanks again!
