It's called a security torx, most larger hardware stores carry them. Google search brings up 100's of sellers.

I needed these to repair the ignition on my minivan. It was interesting to me how unsecure they are. Walk into NAPA, ask for a secure torx and five minutes later I'm done..

Before spending the money, try to knock the pin out of the screw head. Sometimes, a small screwdriver can do it. Or, a small punch and hammer.
You can get a Chinese import hex-drive set of every kind of security bit in history for a few bucks. They're all over eBay.
