Mysterious Screw under Front Bumper

Hi All,

I was wondering if anybody knows what type of screw driver I need to unscrew the screw in the pictures (red arrows). Maybe it is a common automotive type of screw but I couldn't find a screwdriver that fits. Or maybe it's unscrew from the inside? Or you can use a flathead to unscrew it?

This is a 250 with sports package and I was intended to take out the two sides underneath the bumper and the middle gray bar so I can put the 45 front lip on it. Maybe somebody has done this before?

Any help is appreciated!

It's called a pozidriv screw head/pattern and is close cousin to phillips head screw.

Thank you so much! Is there a "tri-star" type of pozidriv? Because when I google pozidriv it looks like all of them has a cross pattern like the phillips, but not a three thread type.

Why do manufacturers have to put on such weird type of screws...

Just checked the front of my 2015 AMG45... looks to be the same pozidriv head>>>
