I am not familiar with this problem but have you tried deep mechanics
sockets? They are available in single units to replace stripped and broken
sockets in sets. They are usualy over 1 1/2 inches long.
If you go to Sears they sell an open package type item that can be replaced
on its package and returned for credit if it doesn't work.
