The screws are unique to me and I'm wondering where to get a screw bit like that and what is it called?
It is called a Torx bit. Looks like a little six pointed star. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx)
You can buy a screwdriver handle that accepts various replacement tips, and get a set of torx tips in various sizes to use with it, or you can buy a set of torx tipped screwdrivers just like conventional phillips and slotted tip drivers.
You should be able to find both of these at any Big Box home & builder supply store, or at sears.
Your local hardware guy will also carry them, as do many mail order catalogs.
Dewalt uses an assortment of sizes on their tools.
I'd go ahead and get the full set so you're sure to have what you need on hand, and save yourself some aggravation when you start to disassemble that thing.
By the way, there are also torx tipped tools like the folding allen wrenches that come in a handle. I have a set like this, and it is way handy, boy.
A TORX I believe , if it is a 6 point star type screw hole? They are measured in mm I think and 15 and 20 are the most common sizes.
