You can download .step files for most things sold by McMaster-carr. F360 let’s you import directly using the product number- this includes pretty much any kind of bolt or screw you want.
Other software you might have to do so manually, but yeah.

I use their files all the time for work. Super useful!
Oh cool. Did not know about this. Already eyeballing some pegboard parts to make here!
Their files are wonderful. One thing to remember is you can reference/import the file and then project features onto sketches- things like mounting holes.
(For example if you’re slapping a psu into the design,)
Don't know about specifically for your use case of only caps, but all of the major parametric modelling programs have custom thread generating functions. Including FreeCad, if you want to pay $0 for it.
If you aren't fussed about the end result looking fancy, you can just make a cylinder and whack a threaded hole partially through it in about three steps in FreeCad, and just print the result.
You can do some basic thread generation in tinkercad the thread generator has some options.
NUT JOB | Nut, Bolt, Washer and Threaded Rod Factory? (You'll need OpenSCAD if Thingiverse's customizer is broken again.) Not sure how many parameters it offers, but the ones you mention should be among them.
Cool. Will check this out this weekend!!
