If it's OEM and the dealer doesn't know how to deal with it, then
obviously that dealer is an idiot. The dealer should most definitely
be able to identify whether it is OEM or not and if it is, deal with
it. Could you stand there with a straight face when they told you
they only could take care of security bolts on current year models,
but not one 5 years old? I would most definitely follow the advice
to contact MB directly and escalate this.

That ain't likely. If it were that easy, thieves would do the same
thing and the security lugs would be useless.
