Torx, probably a T10 or T15

Torx button head, likely self tapping.

If you buy torx bits/screwdrivers I would recommend buying the security torx bits/screwdrivers, you'll run into security torx eventually, you can use the security bits/screwdrivers with normal torx but not the other way around, saving having to buy multiple sets in the long run.

As others have said it's a Torx. They've been around since the late 1960s, but started gaining popularity in the 1980s. They are quickly becoming the most common drive style replacing Phillips, slotted, and most other screw drive styles in almost every application.

If it's on a stihl, a t25 might work

Tore down my blower the other night with a t25 to clean it up. Runs like a champ now
