That's inline with what I remember. I don't think a metric will work on this, and I wouldn't be brave enough to try without backup bolts. Take a trip to your auto parts store and see what they have in torx bits/sockets, shouldn't cost much for a small set that includes this size. They may even have rentals available, at least in the states they do.
