What's weird is that I've taken this cowling off before to tighten the telescoping lever (per Austin's post below), and don't remember running into these security Torx screws... and I don't even currently own security Torx drivers or bits to get them off. Hmm...
The lever this time around is still pretty tight (not overly so, but pretty snug) but the steering wheel can rock about 1/4" in and out AND side to side. Big nut behind the airbag is tight. Since it does this with no visible movement of the U-joint near the gas pedal, I figured it must be the upper bearing assembly.
