If it was a 1/2 or bigger socket the angle can be just a little off of dead square and still work.

The box end made it a 10 second removal or installation and super easy. The threads are very coarse so just a couple rotations and it is tight.
Ok, so you are saying the socket could not stay seated squarely on the bolt.
