They are not OEM. .

The one on the left looks OEM.
OEM means Original Equipment Manufacture.
Did you buy the bike used?

I also can't buy stainless steel torx head fasteners.
I usually buy stainless fastener with a Internal Hex head, this is much better than a Phillips or straight screwdriver head.

I had thought the fastener on the right in your picture was old because the threads appear damaged and rounded.

Damaged and rounded? Is your monitor OK?

Do you go on a ride after washing your bike? I like when I am sure there is no water sitting in different areas of the bike. A 15 minutes ride clears all water and reduced corrosion in those dark spots.

I do the same thing. If you let your bike sit wet, you will notice rust spots on the brake discs where the pads rest where the pads rest against the disc.

The threads on the silver fastener are not sharp and to my eye they appear to be rounded off.
Maybe it's a focus problem.

The bolt on the left looks like it's been laying in someones backyard for a few months, lol. And yes, compromised threads towards the base of the fastener.

I use an air blower to dry my bike off. It's often raining here so going for a ride might not help

No issues with my air filter housing screws....
