Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

That's a star bit screw head. Can find it as a torx star or 5-point star bit.
Torx is 6-pointed tho
People often call variants with other numbers of points "torx" as well. Torx is technically a brand (a trademark) and in that sense, if we were being strict, wouldn't include basically any of the commin TN 6-point driver sets out there, e.g. Wiha and Wera sets. But everyone just says "5 point torx" and so on.
