There is a tool called a torx bit. But they have six points.

Could be somehow tamper-proofed though (like seven points or with a pin up the middle) in which case you are looking at getting a virtually unobtainable tool or drilling them out.

I've used a fine chisel to knock the pin out the middle of the "tamperproof" torx style bolts on my NSR when I had it.

then a regular torx head bit took them out fine
