It's called a "security torx" head, the little knob in the middle makes it security, so you have to buy a whole other set of tools rather than use your regular torx haha. No idea about the size, my one came with the roof racks and I keep it in the glove box. But it sounds like Frog knows.

Or you can get a screw driver and carefully bend the center piece backs and forwards until it snaps off and use a normal Allen key. Don't worry it is really easy to break off.
