I have a 2012 with exact same issue. The shop doesn’t know exactly what spec socket to use and frick them all up. Bad design by Ford to skimp on weight.

Buy online with a single metal design. I got mine from Amazon. Keep some spare in the truck.

That's a great idea too.

There is no spec socket that fits, at least in my experience. To get mine off I had to beat the supposed right size socket on with a rubber mallet just enough to bite, then tap the socket on the concrete to get the nut out once off. The sizes just above would only round the nut. You can get Dorman’s for 4 bucks a piece or so that are one piece from Autozone.
