Default Tool steel for hammer screw

I am having continuing problems with a hammer screw for an O frame 16 hammergun. I have had two replacements break,head breaks off, in the past 18 mo. I am considering having the hole tapped to a larger diameter and a new screw made. I want to use a good steel but do not know what to use. Anyone knowledgeable on steels ?
