Issue removing standard NGK spark plug.

I am having issues w/ my GZ, won't start. I got caught in a severe downpour and had to let the bike sit out overnight. When I got the bike back home I tried starting it several times, using the starter, cranks nicely. It appears that the battery (new) is still strong and even trying to push start doesn't matter. I figured I hosed the plug trying to start the bike so many times, so I stripped the bike to get to the plug (DR8EA) but I'm finding that the Suzuki provided tool does not fit plug. According to the plug specs a 11/16 socket should also work but it too is just a smidgen to
small to remove the plug.

Other than trying a different socket, anyone have any suggestions?

Appreciate any help in advance!
