Default Diesel Fuel Filter Screws

I changed the fuel filter in my '15 CD today at 40k miles. I got it a month ago. Using a Torx T-20 to retighten the screws on top of the housing, one seemed to strip. Looking at it closely, it doesn't appear really damaged. Which made me wonder if I'm using the right tool. Are the screws on the top of the diesel fuel filter Torx or some other type?

Oh, and is there any place on-line to get the screws? I'm not sure what to call them, but didn't find them on Suncoast. Possibly because I"m not doing the search properly.

You should use a T20 bit on the screws. You may have to call Suncoast to get the crews.

You could have a worn out T-20 or , that torx bolt head was just badly machined, blame one or the other.
