Bruce,
Thanks.
I thought more carefully about your answer and realized that this is, indeed, an 8-pt fastener that fits a square #2 Robertson driver, so I am able to work with them.
The fastener and driver combination seems to be a combination that uses the worst of the two systems. So, I suspect it is done to work around the Torx and Robertson patents.
The screws look like a #10, and the Robertson world would drive them with a larger #3 driver, not a #2. And the Torx world would use a real 8 pt driver, not 4 pt.
