Wow, I remember that was an issue....
Maybe the trick is to grind down a (sacrificial) socket to make it short enough to fit.
(I think when I first did it I just gave it a decent amount of push on a wrench, because at 38 ft-lbs (which I think is the spec for this bolt), it's not really all that much force. If you know how much pressure feels right for a 95 ft-lb wheel bolt, then 38 is less than half as much force on the same length wrench; or similar force on a wrench half as long.)
