You've obviously not run into these, you lucky fellow:

But it's Torx, by gosh. Sometimes called Torx-IPR. Still under
patent protection; some vendors (e.g. Wiha) insist on a note from
your mother before they'll sell them to you.
Reminds me of when Torx first came out. You had to purchase the Torx
tools from Textron--good stuff, but very very pricey.
