Half-block from Sears or Home Despot?

Dear Dave,

Harbor Freight includes 3.5 mm in a set of 13 for $10:

or in a set of 17 SAE & metric for $3:

SAE 9/64" is very close.

Bondhus makes a 3.5 mm Allen key that I found on line @ URL:

Some shops that have been carrying Campagnolo for decades likely have them (or maybe one that you can borrow).
Recently I saw one in a shop that was adjusting the centering on a Park TS-2 truing stand.

Those are the best. I have a set that look like screwdrivers with ball ends
on them. Money well spent.

See if you have a locally owned hardware store in your area. We have one
that sells Allen wrenches in little drawers, for about 59 cents apiece. It's
an Ace Hardware store, but I don't know if that matters or not. I can tell
you this, though: don't try to take one on an airplane. I had one in my
carry on luggage, a 5 mm Allen wrench, and the TSA guy took it away from me.
"Ah ha!", he said, "A tool!" then another TSA worker came over, looked at
the wrench and at me and said, "A tool is a tool! You can't take a tool on
an airplane!"

Doesn't that make you feel safer when you fly?

A vendor was coming to fix something on-site near here, but the
mechanic they sent tried to carry his favorite torque wrench on the
plane.

TSA torqued him off.

I found that out on a return flight that I had to discard the screwdriver that I had taken on the first leg of the trip. But castor in my briefcase was not a problem for the TSA.
