Old post but I want to let those still seeking the correct bit - it's not the commonly available security / tamper proof 6 POINT torx screw bit. It's a 5 POINT star (pentalobe) security screw, a security pentalobe. A TS-25. There are bit sets for under $10 on Amazon.

Apple products use the pentalobe shape, but the non-security version.
