Kizer knife's pivot screw - not seen one like this (pic included)

Looking at a knife made by Kizer - which I've had very good luck with in the past - but never seen a pivot screw like this.  The opposite side is flat, no place for a bit. 

Curious, as if purchased, I may want/need to adjust it at some point.  I'm not greatly well-read on pivot screws, haha.  Anyone familiar with it and know if some sort of bit is readily available?  Suppose I could improvise with a very thin & narrow piece of metal that would reach opposing slots  :)

Pic is a little blurry, but that is odd-looking.

Can’t tell scale, but I wonder if the tip of the Vic can opener would work.

For anyone curious, I'd also sent a message to Kizer, hoping they would reply, and they did.  The necessary bit is a Torx Plus 5IP bit (aka, a 5-point Security Torx Plus).

Sure doesn't look like a 5 point security Torx. That's what's used on the Original Leatherman Wave.

A five point for a six-sloted screw?!

Haha, yes, typos (?) are fun.  They messed up the bit and - I believe - the size.  We'll see...thanks for the help, everyone!

After another check-in with Kizer, I got this:

"We have confirmed with our R&D team that you can use a flat head screwdriver to remove the pivots."  :D
