See my model: Cap Head Screw. The sketch of the thread is not correct but it should work.
Many thanks in advance

Found your model. Here's a copy fixed, not perfect but should give you the idea.

Another solution would be to sweep a part for thread and boolean subtract material away.
Edit: After you get this right you will possibly think how to make the end of thread 'fade away' on top. For this we need loft, which is not available yet.//rami5 -

You can also check out @BruceBartlett 's fasteners doc. I remember Bruce figured out how to make the end of thread.

Onshape is great, just learning the basics.
