The pushbutton, all plastic, piece that opens my microwave door broke,

But, the screws that hold the metal microwave cover in place are
apparently some kind of a safety-screw, which I'm having a lot of
trouble with.

Obviously, Whirlpool doesn't want the home user to take the cover off.

The small screw heads look like either Allen or Torex, but they have a
pin in the center to prevent any normal wrench from engaging.
Have never seen any Allen or Torex or..., with a hole in the center for
getting over the screw's pin.

Any idea what kind of wrench might be called for ?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I found a set of "Security Torx" drivers at Advance Auto Parts or
AutoZone for less than $10.

They shouldn't permit two auto stores to both start their names with
A.

Unless it's AAAAutoZone.
