Screw head size on TV stand

I have a motorized TV stand in my Keystone Fifth wheel. I want to move the tv up to the next position however the screws holding it on to the stand are an odd size. They appear to be Torx screw heads but T15 is too small, and T20 is too big. Does anyone know the size of these screws?

Have you tried a Roberts head (square drive)? I’ve seen some screws that have a wide flathead groove and a skinny Phillips head groove on the head.

Wonder if it's one of the security screws

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I'll try the Robertson. It doesn't have the little post in the middle like the security screws.

Cheers!

FWIW, almost every screw I have ever seen in a TT or 5er is #2 Robertson (square head) or a Phillips. Every once in a great while you might encounter an allen or torx, but they are likely to be on some unusual appliance or fixture.

Every owner should have one or more #2 square drive bits in his or her RV tool kit.

Thanks Steve

I probably should have tried the Roberston before posting the question. The screws that are used on the stand have a recessed socket in them with 8 points. Hence my confusion. lol Thanks for the reply.
