It's an E20 torx bit. You'll need to go buy the 1/2" drive socket of it, cause you'll just snap the 3/8" on an adaptor.
Drapper do one it's abotu £4 and well worth it.

if it's in the car, rest a breaker bar on the ground and undo the bolt with aid from the starter motor

IF you still have the flywheel on, take one of the clutch over plate bolts otu and screw it in from the back.
Lay the engine on it's side, and then you'll have enough leverage, just.

Why are you unfastening it? If you are doing the cambelt just unbolt the pulley.
