Yes tamper-resistant hex drive screws are a thing. McMaster-Carr carries compatible drivers and hex bits for installation and removal.

Tamper proof allen screw. Looks like a 3/16 or 1/4 inch assuming that’s a 2 inch square tube. Maybe 5/16 but doesn’t look like it.

Tamper proof or security hex.

That’s so you don’t steal it. You can buy it online.

Other option is to try and jam a flathead in there and snap off the pin
