Could be a Torx , but then 2 kind of screws to fix the same panel? but if this aircraft was the prototype , such things are not unusual as panels and other bits get often removed before and after test flights so I would not make a big fuss out of this, . But it this was a brand new airline delivered aircraft then it is another story.
I still remember visiting one of the B787 prototypes in static display in le Bourget. years back No photos allowed for a good reason , it was not a pretty sight inside.
