 Not sure. I did just get a large socket, like around 32mm at Sears for some bearing nuts on another car I'm working on. They had a good assortment.

If it really is a 0.44mm difference I'd take the just larger socket you have and put a piece of paper (probably heavy light contruction paper in this case) it in to shim it up. I've done this before on an English socket for metric when I didn't have the right thing and it worked, well up to 80 ft lbs which is how high I had to go.
