    yet another tamper resistant screw

    I've never seen this type before. The legs aren't evenly spaced, more of a peace symbol.

    I removed it with pliers, will go in trash.

    Should that "taper" really be "tamper" ?

    I don't see an option to rename the thread, could a friendly moderator please fix my spelling?

    It looks like a very poor version of the Y-type screw head.
