Intake air screen removal

OK guys, I have a confession to make here. I'm 82 and my eyes aren't what they should be. There was dust on the screw heads and I thought they were allen head. I tried a torx as suggested and it was the correct tool. After using the torx head I could see where the "teeth" slots were. Thank you all for the suggestions!

Using the wrong size torque socket and maybe have damaged them. Pretty sure they are somewhere like a T20, T25, T27, T30, T35, Tap on socket lightly with hammer, maybe dirt packed in the top of screws, blow dirt out.
