I would use a drill bit to get rid of that little portion in the center of the screw and find a slightly oversized allen wrench or hex key and hammer it on so its real snug. then you might be able to remove it.

It is a saftey torx plus. Allens and torx are 6 sided. That is five sided. Trying to fing a saftey torx plus in that diameter is going to be difficult. Your best bet is to try and remove it with cutting and drilling methods. Good luck

These bolts are also known as Security Torx. Look up this phrase on Google and you'll find a lot of sets for sale.

Snap-On makes a set you should be able to use. It's not cheap, but you'll be getting a quality tool that won't break easily.

I googled five-sided torx and it gave me a few hits which should help you. Looks like there's 6 and 5 sided torx so just be aware. Good question though.
