6 point Starhead

I'm having a hard time finding the proper tool to remove this 6 point starhead screw from my microwave door. Do you know which tool I would need? The screw looks similar to something a phillips head but it has 6 points on the head of the screw.

Sounds like a Torx, you can get a set of bits for a 1/4" driver for a couple of bucks, or a set of drivers for under $10.

Could be a couple of other types as well, since the micro's are all made overseas.

Check here, scroll down to the "types of screw drive" section.
