It's a T-10 SECURITY bit.

It needs to have the hole in the tip or you won't be able to get it into the screws.

yep...dimple torx bits, security torx...they have a couple names. Bottom line, the bit must have a hole in the center or it ain;t gonna fit those screws.

With the reg in a bench vice the center pin can be removed with a dremel grinder tip or a small punch.

I dremeled mine years ago. Saves a couple of bucks from having to buy a set of specialty torx bits that you'll never use again.

I used miniature vise grips on the screws to get mine apart.
