Starter Bolts - Size for replacements?

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

$5 says they didnt have the correct 12-point driver to remove those bolts.
they are a dealer only item, and the shop should be covering the cost if
they are in fact stripped, since i bet the shop is responsible for the
stripping.
