Default Tamper-resistant screw

This is why I never buy any Apple products. I feel that they hate me
and want to put me in "jail". I see a lot of people writing about
"jailbreaking" Apple products. This always puzzled me, as paying money
to Apple to be in jail, does not strike me as a good idea.

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.
