I have a tool with a number of Allen wrenches. The smallest
of the lot fits the screws that hold the oscillator to the board.
I found it easiest to insert the tool from the other side of the
board rather than unscrewing the usual way. This way I
was able to insert the Allen wrench well into the screw yet
avoid interference with the oscillator box.

Nope. Looked at them with a jeweler's loupe. They are Torx.

Most likely they are 1/16" hex.

No need to buy a tool. They drill out really easy but you can also
simply punch them out. There are no nuts on the back. The screws
bite directly into the fiberglass PCB. Mine were T-16 but many
people report they are hex not torx. Maybe it depends on what kind
of screw they had around the day it was built.
