I've seen a couple builds in the past where the owners used a threaded roll pin for the bolt catch, I have been searching for quite some time and can't seem to find these anywhere. Does anyone know where someone might be able to purchase one of these?

DPMS LR308 uses them.  I had to order a new one from Midway.

you can "build it yourself" with this 80% lower

Thanks for the help guys. In my searches I was using "Threaded roll pin" therefore yielding no results. I switched it up to " Bolt catch screw" and found these, there claiming to be SS so hopefully they wont crumble like some have said the DPMS do.

ETA: Should I tap the bolt catch roll pin hole or just try and carefully screw the new pin in? Forged lower btw.

I've never heard of a ss pin crumbling

those screws were meant for these receivers, but I don't see why you couldn't tap the lug on your current receiver to use one, as long as the lugs are beefy enough and you can start the tap straight
