Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

That is some variety or another of a “torx star” head. They vary in size and are listed as TS-10, TS-15, etc. your best bet would be searching torx star and buying a set of bits to try out various sizes.
And it's an inverted torx (with 5 points) as usually the screw driver is male and the screw head is female - I think that's the right nomanclature.

Oh ffs I didn’t notice it was inverted from the pics. Good catch. Someone really doesn’t want you to open that shit OP.
true, looking at second pic it's very hard to make out. I tried to capture it on the first picture, but it's not that good
