Really easy and simple fix. Have done it many times for similar situations on aircraft.

You can grind down the body of socket to make it thin wall. All you need is bench grinder.

For the extension, you can then weld it on to the end of socket. I'm sure a shop can do that for some doughnuts!. LOL.
