Trying to change the ignition switch on my son 96 2.2 Cavalier. The switch is held in place by two small aluminum male star type torque screws. I have check all the local auto stores in my area and nobody caries a female torque star socket small enough to fit. Does anybody know where I can find one of these things or how I can remove these screws short of vice grips?

Finally found the right socket at Northern Tool. They sell a 9 pc star socket set for $4.99 that contained the right size socket ( E5). It only took me 10 minutes or so to change the switch, but two days to find the right socket!
