Question propper tool for bolt

ok gents, i just getting ready to take out my back seat so I can start wireing some stuff, I pull out my trusty torx set, i get ole #55 because it looks likes its the one, well i try and turn it and it slips and does not grab. so im like hmmmmmmmm??? so i take a closer look at the bolt and it appears that the bolt is more rounded like flower and doesnt really have the sharp like edges of a torx. So am I an idiot or is this gonna be one of those special ford tool things?

NiNjA Doc,

New style came out a couple of years ago, Ford and GM both use them (probably Chrysler too but never checked). I will look up the name tommorrow and post it. Or just call your local Snap On or Mac Tool distributor and ask them for one. They all have them on there trucks.

Hope this helps
