What screwdriver will work?

It's a round screw with 8 pointed grooves. It looks like a starburst. See the pix? I can't find anything that will work.

    Its called a torx. They keep inventing screw that won't work with regular screwdriver to flustrae vandals. Then everyone uses them and we have to buy a new set of screwdrivers. You should be able to find them at your hardware store.

    These are called torque screws and they come in numbered sizes. Some screwdrivers that are at home centers have different bits inside them and one may fit if not you can buy individual size bit for your screws.

    Good Luck
