they are special torx-head screws - anti tamper ones. just go to s**t autos/repco/bunnings whatever, and you can buy the set cheap as chips

um before you do that me and my dad worked out you can grab the whole head with a pair of pliers and undo do them. I may slip a couple times but it also does the job. but if you can pick up a set cheap they are worth having.

I used a screw driver to break the centre spigot off then used a normal torx.
Cheers TW.

I work at bunnings and i bought a set for anti-tamper screws for $7 i think.
Its really cheap anyway. Try not to burr the screw though if you do the only way to get them out is with multi-grips (vice grips). FYI Stereo install places normally use use multigrips anyway, it takes like 2 mins each screw with them.

Its a very readily available screw head bit, cost me $5 for a whole kit and i have used it a number of times on other installs. For the sake of $5, not having to drill it out and having it for future use, i would recommend you buy the required part. Supercheap has them for $5.

Now there's a novel idea, using the right tool for the job.
