Im trying to lower the action on the B string of my SR Classic V. in order to lower the saddle to the desired height, I need shorter saddle adjustment screws. Are these parts available for order from EB?

I'm trying to picture this and having a hard time. If you loosen the two adjustment screws, doesn't the saddle touch the bridge plate? And isn't that the lowest it will go?

The "Classic" series Basses use hollow barrel saddles as opposed to solid saddles. When a barrel saddle is adjusted lower, the two adjustment screws become closer to the inner upper part of the barrel. A point can be reached where the saddle can't be adjusted any lower as there is no exit point for the screws at the upper part of the saddle. This seems to be the problem you have.
Rather than alternate screws, a shim added to the rear of the neck pocket on the body will fix things and allow more adjustment. A guitar tech would be able to do this for you
Shims can be purchased from Ernie Ball MM.
