Default removing pony from front grille

Ok i am trying to take the horse off of the front of my car but the2 bolts that hold it on have star heads and then they have like a stub in the middle so i cant get a star wrench on it, it looks like i need a star wrench with a hole cut in the center bottom of it to go around the stub on the bolt, any one know where i can get one or what to do with it, thanks

If a drill will reach it, you can drill that center piece off...thats what I usually end up doing if i cant find the right torx bit.

That would be a major PITA.

you can get this type of torx set for like 5 bucks at a auto parts store.
