Someone already suggested skimming a bit off the outside of an impact
socket, which is what I'd do.
My only other thought, if it's always the same engine, is whether you could
find 12-point bolts (smaller head, same threads) from ARP or similar.
I take that back, one other thought is to buy better quality sockets. I use
some older Craftsman non-impact sockets on an impact gun fairly often, and
I've not ruined one yet (although they are showing some damage around the
drive hole).
