Help with Starter Removal

I hate to even ask the question, but it is for a buddy...what type of bolt head is on the three starter bolts? I would know if I looked, but its not my truck and I haven't had time to get to his place and crawl under it. He said they were a multi point design. His description doesn't match a torx head.

He also didn't have the right tools either. Sounds like its a 10mm socket accessable with a 3/8" drive rachet with an extension (maybe a swivel?).

Thanks for the help.
