How do I undo this screw?

Thanks for the tip Steve. I have not heard about it before. Available on Ebay for $32 a bottle and says that it increases your grip by up to 800%.

The torx security screws are easy to overcome, using a suitable pin punch the centre pin will snap at its base with a short tap allowing you to use a normal torx bit.

Security screws must be a near pointless exercise as security bit sets are so widely available that every tinkerer must have a set.

"Security screws must be a near pointless exercise as security bit sets are so widely available that every tinkerer must have a set."

So true ! I think I paid about GBP10 in Aldi a few years back for a boxed set of bits. Must be over 50 in there including some weird & wonderful ones for fasteners I've never seen.
One annoyance though is when the designers place the "tamper-proof" fastener deep down inside a narrow hole as on most of my 2 stroke garden machines. The extension pieces for the bits/sockets are always just wider than the deep hole : – (
