I did a search on this site and on Google . General consensus is that it is a T20 security Torx but some say it is a 5 star ( vs. 6 star ) security Torx . My 6 star T20 security Torx does NOT fit the screws . I tried grabbing with pliers , vice grips , jamming screwdrivers etc. and neither one will budge . I have no problem buying the correct tool just need to know what that is . To my eye the screws have 5 points but it's difficult to get a good viewing angle . If anyone has the tool part number that would be great . Looks like bit is the best way to go .
