Starshape screws - ML115 G5

I need to get in the front to my harddisk bays but the screws are star shaped - wtf.
Any ideas how to get them out without a star shaped tool?

Basically you have to find a tool yourself. Useless.

Cou can go and buy a torx screw driver 15 and 18.

alternately, if you got a flatblade screwdriver, that just fits in, you can use that.
Flat-nose pliers og Cutting nippers.

Success depent on you skills with tools.

The very best solutions, is to go and buy a torx set, and a ESD Kit.
