Inspiron 5676 SSD Screwdriver
Hi all -- I'm trying to upgrade my Inspiron 5676 to a SSD drive, but I can't figure out what kind of screwdriver I need to remove this screw. Twice I've purchased screwdriver kits for SSD mounting from Amazon, but neither fit this screw. Anyone know what kind of screwdriver I need here?
Much appreciated.

That is not a "screw' that is removed. That is a stud that you use a screw to secure a M.2 2280 SSD.
According to the manual (linked below) the required screw is an M2X3.5 (metric). Also pages 25/26 are on removing and installing an M.2 SSD.
