When opening up my Macbook Pro I started to strip one of the smaller screws and I was wondering where you can get a replacement?

I'd just leave it out. Missing a screw doesn't hurt anything, and buying a replacement kit is expensive proportional to the outcome of doing so.
I'm worried that if there is every a failure on the computer they will be upset at the stripped screw and they could claim that I damaged the computer.

The entire sets that you can find are quite expensive ($50 or so). You could try to find some cheaper on eBay perhaps.
do it right or don't do it at all.
super glue and MacBook Pro should not be used together.
$50 for replacement set of screws? I think I would just live with the one screw missing. If the day came that you had to take it in to Apple, maybe then consider purchasing the replacement screw set. But right now? It's not crucial.
It's not that critical, for other users, if you call Apple you can pick some up at the Apple Store (Like MallCop said) or they can send you some if you have Apple Care.
Hope this helps
