Aluminum screw sheared off this carrage. 1.5" wheels on inside concave. I can replace screw...do u have a better replacement carriage? Its held in place by a steel dowel. If not, need 4 wheels. Dowel pressed in as well on wheels. No to nylon wheels.

I believe you could drill out that broken screw. What I've done in the past is use an "easy out." You want to hole into the broken screw, then tap in the easy out and use a tap wrench or set of pliers to turn it out. I have also just drilled out the broken screw and recapped the hole. In either case, if you can remove the broken adjustment screw you could use the 81-272 roller kit to just replace the wheel.
