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

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.

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..

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.
