  Good way to ruin a drill bit.  You need to chuck it in a lathe or 
at least a mill to clean out the socket farther.  You could drill, 
with a large enough drill, to the smaller diameter and that would 
probably clear.  Try Baum tools, schley tools or Hazet.  Not cheap 
but probably only 2x to 3x a regular deep socket and no mods needed.
