try a place that handles "lisle" brand.  There is a
pack that has four sizes, and you use a deep 1/2"
socket on the bit.  Got mine at Pep Boys, I think. 
Part # is 60750...link is:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you will
see it listed.  You can also use their locator service
at the website.

I don't mind having the set as VAG uses different
sized fasteners on different sized cars.

I normally clean out the heads of these bolts with
brake cleaner and use a 1/2" breaker bar to get things
started.  I have found that a good "oomph" at the
outset helps to prevent stripping the head off.  You
won't break the Lisle bit, it is solid.

Always use fresh bolts and nuts when reinstalling CV
joints to the vehicle.

HTH and good luck
