EDIT: I believe I found the answer, it’s something turned by this: https://ctatools.com/products/5065

Found some trash on the street that i’d like to take apart, but this screw is in my way.

It’s like a hex bolt, but with 5 sides, and rounded (a bit like flower petals).

Here’s another picture from the top:

I tried turning it with various tools (hard to get pliars in unfortunately), no success so far. The material is very soft, which doesn’t help…

      People often call variants with other numbers of points “torx” as well. Torx is technically a brand (a trademark) and in that sense, if we were being strict, wouldn’t include basically any of the commin TN 6-point driver sets out there, e.g. Wiha and Wera sets. But everyone just says “5 point torx” and so on.
