What tool is needed to open this reel up? Five screw heads on the left side; they look like hex heads but they are cut very shallow...or are they torx heads? I stand at risk at stripping these darned things, and I need to get inside this reel. It's stiff as a board after I hung it up after last season, followed by a winter of neglect.

Advice appreciated.
