Greetings Bill, welcome to the Forum and sorry you're having so much trouble there.

I'm just remembering...
That Sears had some kind of a "set" of Sockets, which applied to what your problem is. Seems as they were designed to snag a bad bolt head and only in the "lefty/loosey" CC direction.

Might check with them and see.

Best I can remember, good luck !
