Does anyone happen to know the size of the bolt that is used in the Foundation Centurion cheek riser? I would like to be able to adjust it without needing a tool if.

I don't, sorry, but if you have it in your hands, remove it and take it it to Lowes or Home Depot. In the Fasteners aisle they have these little fixtures where you can confirm thread diameter and pitch. Then it's just a matter of measuring the bolt length, typically measured "from where the material surface is assumed to be." So for a countersunk bolt that's the top of the screw head; for a cap screw it's underneath the screw head. If you have calipers that's easiest, or you can just compare the bolt to the what's in the store's lil baggies.
There's a similar thread on it here (post #2):

I dabble in making a lot of my own (soft) custom shooting gear for various reasons, so I could appreciate you trying that route,
but there are at least (4) makers of tool-less knobs for Loggerhead that I've seen on this site fairly often:
-TS Customs
-360 Precision
-Manners (MCS)
-Butch's Gun's (Woodward, OK)

Does anyone know what size/pitch the allen head screw that tightens down the clamp for the height of the cheekpeice is?

Or he could call Foundation and ask
Sure, plenty of ways to skin the cat.
Yea, I saw that as well. Seems a lot of products have been removed. I'm not sure why. This seems like a simple fix though, I sent an email to Foundation about the size of the bolt. There's a lot of thumb screws out there.
I already provided it in the link above , 1/4”-28.
Terry at Kmw is providing them to Foundation.
Here is another thread where the bolt diameter and thread pitch is coming straight from him (#5)

I have not personally seen a lot of the KMW tool-less knobs he references in the thread (over 10 years old )but they could very likely be used more in the LEO projects he seems to do a lot of.

Thumbscrew for KMW Loggerhead Hardware
I'd like to get a thumbscrew to replace the crossbolt that comes with the KMW hardware. I find that I need to shift the cheekpiece a bit when going from the bench to a prone position. I'm looking for something sort of like what McMillan has on their adjustable cheekpiece. Unfortunately...
