I think you may need to find a specialist tool shop to get the very
small torx sizes. I have some 1/4" drive torx bits but the smallest is
approx 5/32" across 'flats'
I had a similar problem with the cross head screws in my Thinkpad
600E. They were not phillips or pozidrive compatible and I had to
resort to straight watchmaker size screwdrivers to shift them.
Wouldn't work with torx head screws tho'
Just googled and found Maplins do a set of three "suitable for
opening mobile phones"
