It does look like I can get a 7/32" socket for a couple of bucks, though

Don't. You need a *thinshell* nutdriver--ordinary sockets are too
thick.
Right! The backup plan - in absence of the right driver in a Real Shop -
was to make a regular socket into a thin-walled one. It's that or order
online, pay a bunch of shipping, and wait around for a week.
Anyway, I picked up a cheap 7/32" deep socket from Menards ($3 or so) - and
as it happens, it Just Works without modification. It's not marketed as
thin-walled; I expect they just made it cheap by leaving out a bunch of
metal, but that works in my favor in this case. (It's a Master Force one,
just in case any future beings reading this need to know)
