What tool is needed for these door lock retainer screws?

It looks like about a size 45 12-point torx.

It's called a triple square bit. Autozone sells cheap ones that work OK for the body mounts, but get a good set if you need to do headbolts, etc. Metalnerd carries a high quality set:

A tripple square?
I guess that makes sense.

Do you know what size for the door lock though?

UPDATE: I found out that it's actually the 8mm size.

The tool from vatozone worked fine.
