== Update ==
Thanks all, I kinda suspected it was an inclosed jobby.
+
I did however do some more research..in my drawer
+
and discovered a magic universal lube called 'INOX',
+
didn't list contents but it's a non silicone dry lube spray.
-Decided not to open up torx screws, too much trouble..
-I applied it in and around with a thin straw
-type spray adapter, worked it back and forth a bit,
-wiped up the excess, and so far it seems ok,
-no creaking or damage to report...yet. Will update if
-anything bad happens after this experiment. Thanks!
