Default Door Striker Plate Bolt Size

Does anyone know the bit size for the upper bolt on the striker plate? XZN 8MM is too big and 7MM is too small. Torx 45 too big and 42 too small. What's going on here!!!

If I remember correctly they might actually be the 3x4 (12 point) torx, and maybe why you cant get a regular torx to work is they might be the security type that have an indent in the tip so you can’t get the tool all the way in.

the XZN is the 12 point. Thanks for the info I'll have to do some research on the security type. I've never heard of that. All very frustrating.
