There is a Torx screw holding the middle dash trim I believe, so you'll need a Torx screwdriver.

The trim of what? Or just in general?

Regardless: Buy a new set. Those are beat to hell and and plainly cheap. Good ones have relatively thin, sharp edges and are made of plastic that will give a bit but not shear off.

Got a 5 piece set at HF that are exactly like the ones on the Amazon link, only they are blue instead of red. Used them to remove panels for speaker install, and rear camera install; took off door panels, door sill trim, dash trim, etc. No problems with them at all.
