M112 engine breather cover screws

As you guys know the screws on the breather cover are sort of a joke, they are aluminum and are so touchy that they will break if you even look at them wrong.

They dont take much torque, think about a smidge more than snug or like a gentle tightening with a screwdriver. Im thinking of using stainless steel screws in place of the 4 little ones (I have about 10 M5x20 SS screws).

Is using SS in such a situation bad? corrossion problem?

Im armed with the half caulking tube of GM sealant and the only bit stopping me is the stupid screws, dealership also handed me the cheap aluminum screws and told me thats the part.

Reason to use GM sealant - it was easily available at the chevy dealer and it can really seal up oil pans.
