There are torx wrenches if you don't feel like opening the door all the way.
Like /u/jrm2191 said, Park Tool make some... comprehensive tool sets. Those prices are enough to make me choke, though. Your son's riding a ~$400 bike - I don't know how I would wrap my head around buying an $800 tool set, or even a $300 one.
But the tool sets are a good way to think about what tools you should buy. I'd get a basic tool set, fill in gaps, and upgrade selectively. What I'd do, in no particular order, would look like...
At this point I would start thinking about upgrading the tools that your son will use all the time. The thing that stands out for me is hex tools. He might use Torx screws, but he'll definitely use metric hex tools
Then probably nice meaty tire levers to make replacing tires and tubes easier
If you were looking to spend $300 or that range, then you'll notice you're way under that target. Feel free to start adding on some random nice things, like a portable multi-tool, which will pay off if he has an issue while out on a ride.
I'm running out of things that aren't "consumable" (like brake cables, housing, etc...), so for my last recommendation, nitrile work gloves! (they'll make cleanup a breeze)
There are tons of other things you could get (a bike stand, for instance) but at this point I'm getting a bit out of control. and there are tools I assume you have (e.g. a good screwdriver), but at some point I need to stop.
And obviously feel free to mix and match whatever components you can afford/feel comfortable spending that much money on. One thing that might help would be to talk with him about what kind of work he does on his bike. He might be in desperate need of hex tools, but not treating himself to nice hex wrenches. That could be your quick, easy, cheap answer. Or similarly he might be nervously tightening bolts without a torque wrench, even in places that call for very precise amounts of torque. Again, easy answer regarding what to prioritize.
Best of luck
edit: totals didn't add up right, sorry!
Everything.

The thermal paste+pads cost me roughly $18 total. I already had the security torx and spudgers, so they didn't cost me anything.
If you need to buy Torx wrenches, these are the ones I used. I quite like Bondhus because they're made in the USA and they offer a lifetime warranty. They cost more than Chinese made tools, but I've never had one break, and if they do, its not a huge deal to get them replaced.
These are the spudgers I use. Any spudger would probably work just as well. I would stay away from metal ones though. Plastic spudgers won't mar plastic, while metal ones will.
