the type of screw that LOOKS like a torqx, but has a small stud in the
middle of the head??? have come across this in a couple of parts i'm
working on, any info appreciated

It's called a security torx, most larger hardware stores carry them. Google
search brings up 100's of sellers.

My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked. It is price
competitive. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours.

I needed these to repair the ignition on my minivan. It was interesting
to me how unsecure they are. Walk into NAPA, ask for a secure torx and
five minutes later I'm done..

Before spending the money, try to knock the pin out of the screw head.
Sometimes, a small screwdriver can do it. Or, a small punch and hammer.

You can get a Chinese import hex-drive set of every kind of security bit in
history for a few bucks. They're all over eBay.
