i have a 15 macbook pro 2015 under apple warranty I open the bottom case for cleaning but I stripped most of the screws and I bought some 3rd party screws fm ebay and put the macbook together. Now i need to bring my macbook to apple for service
Will apple void my warranty if there are 3rd party screws on my macbook?
 
I’ve sent a Macbook Pro to Apple store with a 3rd party SSD and missing screws and they never said anything
 
Just out of curiosity, how did you strip the screws? I have taken a fair number of these apart and never stripped a screw.

I'm pretty sure you can purchase the screws that Apple uses from iFixit

To answer your question, no they will not void your warranty for that. Just don't over tighten them and use a screwdriver made of the same metal so they don't strip as easy. If you are worried about them backing out, use some locktite
