Default IAC removal/cleaning question

I'd like to remove my IAC to clean it, but I'm having trouble finding the proper sized torx bit to remove it. Anyone here know what size I need?

Hmm... I'll check and see what the biggest one I have is. I tried removing it before, but it would semi-grab then spin freely, so I gave up before I started stripping bolts. It's a little more difficult when the bolt head faces the firewall and you can't see it! I may need to grab a set with some bigger ones in it. Thanks!
