Default Tamper-resistant screw

?Apple is switching to a new type of tamper-resistant screw. This is not a

remove it. This isn't the first time they've used this type of screw-it
first appeared in the mid-2009 MacBook Pro to prevent you from replacing the
battery-and Apple is using a similar screw on the outer case of the current
MacBook Air.

Gonna make a screw driver.

Small dividing head, ball nosed end mill, and some drill rod.

T&C grinder, indexer, and some drill blank. I think a
triangular shape might work.

Any other ideas?

Best Regards
Tom.

Maybe bundle five pieces of music wire with an appropriate spacer in
the middle. They could be silver soldered or perhaps held in a pin
vise collet.
