I can't tell for sure from your picture, but I think what you're calling
a "Star" drive is a Torx drive.

No, what I'm calling a "Star" drive is a "Star" drive.

Everyone acknowledges that Torx is just as good a drive as Robertson.

I wonder what they say about Star.

What you and Lowes call a "star" drive is in fact a "Torx" drive. Torx
is the trademark name for a type of screw head characterized by a
6-point star-shaped pattern. There are 5-point tamperproof patterns
as well.
