Need Overhead DVD removal help

Trying to remove my overhead DVD player from my 2003 EB Expy due to an attempted burglary that just ended up destroying the DVD player. I can see the four bolts holding the DVD player to the roof, but the bolts are some sort of security bolts. They have four small holes in a line on the round head.

Anyone know how to remove these or where to get the tool?

TIA,
Dan

It's been a little while since I took mine down for repairs, but don't recall special security bolts. I recall just using a very small deep socket to get the bolts out. After that it was a good tug to get the metal retaining clips to release.

Thanks bud. Upon VERY close inspection there were four very small holes on the head of the bolt, but they were ordinary 7/32" hex heads... Got it right out and is sitting in my hands now - thanks for the reply.

Dang - I HATE asking stupid questions...
