Yes, the set I have has the Torx and Hex with the holes for pins but
none that I have would fit. It appears that the pin on these Chinese
screws may be bigger than normal and thus the hole in the driver is not
big enough. It is difficult to really see down in the hole where they
are but I wondered if I could either break the pin or maybe drill it out.

Those fasteners are likely “security Torx”. You can find the bits to fit them
just about anywhere that carries tools. Good idea to have a set, as they’re
pretty common these days.

We have been using a Breville toaster for several years but are becoming
disenchanted with Breville due to the failure of some other Breville appliances.
The Breville is acting up and my wife bought an Oster but is unhappy with it.
It only wants to toast one side of the bread. Reading up on this suggests that
is a new style known as cafe style.
She wants it to toast both sides without having to remove and flip the bread.
What are you folks using, and does it toast both sides of the bread. The
Breville did that fine.
And yes, I know they have a bagel function and no, it is not on. If you google
this question about one sided toasting you get lots of suggestions that it is
not the fault of the toaster but we don't think that to be true in our current
situation.
My wife is about to order another Breville if I don't come up with a reasonable
alternative.
I did try to take the Breville apart as I suspect that I know what is wrong but
they obviously do not want you to work on them. I have a set of oddball
screwdriver doodads with splines and holes to fit over pins etc but they won't
work on this toaster. Don't know if it is some oddball size or ?? It appears to
be like a hex key with a pin in the middle but none of my selection worked. I
may try drilling them out but by then SWMBO will have obtained another one. We
already broke the plastic handle on the arm that you push down to lower the
bread. Could be glued back on I guess.
BTW - today is our 49th wedding anniversary.
