Star Head Screw?

Referred to as part #82 in the RS36 Mikuni exploded view image. Anyone know what specific bit is needed to properly fit that screw head?

Can't remember the specific size but I bought a bit set off ebay for the same purpose.
They were only couple of quid and had about eight or ten sizes with either a 6mm or 8mm shank that fits most bit drivers or 1/4 drive socket.

Okay, it's not just me then; I couldn't see any detail in that picture.
I picked up a set of "security bits" at Harbor Freight. (Their name for them, though some are just Torx, etc.) There were 100 bits in a case for about $8 on sale. The quality might not be great but they should hold up to working on carbs.
