Some Sharp Microwaves use different Torx screws. The T15 didn't fit the screws on my model, it appears to be the security version of the T15. I suggest getting a set such as the Mako instead.

Sometimes 2 of 6 cabinet screws are security style. Adjusting small needle nose vise-grip pliers very tightly and pointed directly around round screw head parallel to screw thread can loosen the sheet metal screw.
