case screws aren't all type 00 phillips screws

following the iFixit "take the damned computer apart" guide i ordered a Phillips 00 and a T6 Torx from iFixit. lo and behold, about half the screws on the case aren't Phillips 00. They are this multi lobed weird design (See attached pic). Can anyone tell me the name of the tool i need to remove these? thanks, Ralph

Can you see those? (photos taken with my iPhone 7 Plus on 2X mode)

please email me at bernstein[at]ral.ph

many thanks! R

You'll need a pentalobe screwdriver like this one: P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver Retina MacBook Pro and Air

Someone swapped screws from a retina model on you ;-{

thanks Dan. thats what i figured. my pentalobe that i have is too small. i just went ahead and ordered the iFixit 20$ kit, which i shouldve ordered long ago instead of ordering the tool i need, misplacing it, and ordering it again. isnt it weird theyd only switch half the screws though?
