A friend of mine was a professional locksmith. He was under the

set, obtained at a hamfest years earlier.
Over here just about every tool shop sells tamperproof Torx bits (and
tamperproof Allen, tri-wing, Torq, etc). The one that's hard to get is
the System Zero.
Hmm, I have a feeling my Tektronix used those. It was just possible to
grab them with pliers because of the washer behind them all.
Needless to say they got replaced with something more useful, as I
generally do with all oddball security screws - no sense in making it
hard for myself or someone else to take a apart at a later date! :)
