Default TORX T-20 Security Bit

Dear Corvette-brothers

Who can tell me which store sells the TORX T-20 Security Bit or driver?
I know I can order it online, but I am trying to purchase it as soon as possible.

I am trying to remove the IAC sensor and the TPS sensor off my LS6 Throttle body, but I need the TORX T-20 security bit to do so.

The regular T-20 bit won't work because it doesn't have a hole in it.

Any help will be appreciated.

If you have a drill or drill press, put TORX bit in a vise, center punch and drill the appropriate hole.
Otherwise try Harbor Freight.
