Memory says that they are a male torx screw, hence a female torx bit. But they may have more points than that. Been ages since I've seen them
Either way a 5mm socket works well in removing them. I may be wrong on the size thought. They may be 4mm or maybe 6mm but a small sized socket does work.

Cheers

It's called an E type socket. Good hardware stores will have them.

Superroo is right, it's the other 'sex' of a torx head.

5mm socket --- I'll bet my balls it's cheaper than a set of E-type sockets!
