Default pentacle or pentalobe bit in the SF bay area any one?

We're trying to help mod_monkey fix his idling issues

does anyone in the San Francisco Bay area have the pentacle or pentalobe bit that fits the anti tamper 5 point bolts on the iac valve?

In case anyone ever is interested pep boys carries a 122, not 100, but the 122 kit that has it.

There helpful and courteous csrs will probably say they don't have the bit if you call first like any sane individual would do but we happened to have been at pep boys and found it

Frys - no luck
Harbor fright - no go
Home Depot and lowes not a chance
Autozone - nope
Winchester auto - negatory ghost rider

This is for the IAC Valve?

I recall I got one off using a 50000-piece kit from Harbor Freight (not an exact match, so partially stripped one). And I completley stripped the other one and it was stuck. I somehow got them off and I swapped them with something more standard. My recommendation is to do that--use a dremel or something and get them off and swap with non-torx.

P.S. Be careful with your eyes/protection when pulling it off--don't do it on a hot/war car--coolant will fly everywhere.
