This will work.
I have used Comet powder cleaner to take up space between the tool and the fastener.
Also make sure the Allen socket is in good shape before you use it. File or grind it until the tool is the original size.
Grinding down a slightly larger Allen socket and jamming it in is a good option too.

Now cutting the spiral easy-out and hammering it in has been added to my future options! Thanks!
