Plug change issue

Attempting plug change on my 2010 4.6 STX 4x4 .
Everything I've found simply says using a 5/8 plug socket .
Seems the OD of socket won't allow it to go deep enough to grab plug .
I've cleaned around the plug and blew out debris .
Is there a special tool I need , like a socket wrench for a motorcycle ? Thin walled type .
Any help would be great ty .

It's been a while since I've watched this but I think he gives a few tips on things you need in general.

You shouldn't have any troubles with broken plugs, but hopefully this will help.

I've never had that issue on various years 2V 4.6L engines nor on my '11 5.0L. What brand socket do you have?
