I don't have a nice assortment to select from, so I'll need to go buy something. You think it could be between 4, 5 and 6mm?

I wouldn't sweat the details too much (but I've got an assortment of 4, 5, and 6mm bolts laying around already). Just find a bolt that threads in smoothly, stick a washer and a socket over it, make sure it goes in 4 threads before it gets tight, and crank down on it until you meet resistance or it comes out. (you don't want to bottom out on the threads and then keep turning it) If you bottomed out, unscrew it and start over with a longer socket or more washers.
