You can get them at local auto parts stores such as Advance Auto. They refere to them as security torx. I bought a whole set for about $10.
 






It is a " Tamper proof torx " I have a set if ya need to borrow one.
PM me
 






The safety pin in the security torx bolt can be easily snapped loose by one hit with a chisel. I've done this several times on different meters, then simply changed the bolt to a standard hex head.

After the center safety pin is gone, a regular torx can be used to remove the bolt.
