I will buy some and find out if they work but I want to be 100% before I go out and buy some.

They are Torx screws I believe.

PTVupgrade.com and weaknees.com sells the screw driver to remove those screws.

You should however be able to find the screwdriver at any hardware store. I know I bought one at Aco hardware
