Question Tool for removing protective pan?

I attempted to change my own oil today on my 2006 NBC and found there are 6 bolts on the pan protecting the engine that have a 12-pointed star instead of the 6-pointed torx. The diameter of the hole in the bolt is approximately 6.5 mm. Where can I get the proper bit to remove those bolts?
Thanx

Harbor Freight usually has the needed bit.

Thanks for the info on Harbor Freight. Unfortunately, they don't seem to carry it any longer. I did find a set of 12-point bits on ToolKing.com

This is where I got mine:

Might want to order the set - the bigger ones are used to remove the axles.

If they are 8mm, that's the same size for air-cooled VW axles and can be gotten at any of the air-cooled parts places like:

(but those are going to be crappy "chrome vandium" chinese stuff. I'd spend the money on SK.
