Removing Fan element?

Hi, I am trying to remove the fan element beofre purchasing a new one to make sure that this is the issue. However, I can't remove the screws that are holding it in, I think that they are 5.5mm hex, but the socket keeps slipping and ruing the socket pieces as they are done up very tightly. I have tried 5mm and 7/32" but with no luck Has anyone else had that problem? (Just to check I am turning anti-clockwise :-)) Thanks,
