Is Torx the same as Pentalobe?
Apple’s service manuals refer to the special screws used in their products as “Pentalobular” screws. These screws have a five-pointed, rounded head, and are used in place of traditional Torx screws. While the name may be unfamiliar, the screws themselves are fairly standard.

Pentalobe screws were adopted by Apple starting in 2009, when they were first implemented in the 15-inch MacBook Pro. The penta-lobed recess in the screws’ head requires a special driver to remove them, making them difficult (but not impossible) to remove without the proper tools.

What to use if you dont have a Torx?
Torx screws are becoming increasingly popular in both home and industrial applications. While they can be more difficult to remove than standard screws, they are much more difficult to strip the head, making them ideal for applications where security is a concern. To remove a torx screw, you will need to use a small flat head screwdriver. Make sure you turn slowly so as not to damage the head. For security torx screws you will need to insert the flat head in against one of the outer grooves and the center nub of the head. This works much the same as non-security torx screws.
There are a few different ways that you can use instead of a Torx screwdriver. Sometimes an allen key will work, or even a flat blade screwdriver if it will jam between opposite points in the recess. However, be ready to replace the screw and/or the tool used because of damage.

The correct screwdriver to open a MacBook Pro is a P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver.
There are many different types of screwdrivers, but the best type to use to open a MacBook Pro is a Phillips head screwdriver. Be careful not to strip the screws, as this can damage the computer.
