Removing bed - What size of Torx are the bolts?

I need to remove the bed on a 2015 crew cab F-150. The 6 main bolts have a Torx head. A 55 won't fit so I am assuming they are a 50. However the 50 seems "sloppy" and I am afraid I will strip something. Any chance Ford has there own size of torx head?

They look like Torx, but they are Torx Plux -- they have a thicker engagement, which is why a T-50 fits, but not perfect.

They are called T50P.

Is this the same size for the previous generation of F150 XL bed bolts, 2003 F150? Torx Plus 50?
