Not all stainless steel is "magnetic"

True, some grades of stainless contain more iron than other grades, but as I understand it, most stainless steel screws are "Austenitic", which means they have a very low ferrous content and are therefore essentially non-magnetic. Did you actually check the screws you removed to see if they were magnetic? If they were, you might be able to find Austenitic stainless steel screws to replace them (they are more common than other types of stainless screws), in which case they might fit better than the brass.
