We went through the same problems.  The part number from Gatan is  630.00002

The hex that you are turning  is .061 inches  ±.0005 A/F or 1.55 mm.  While I was waiting the last time I contemplated getting a socket of this size or making one from a socket head screw mounted to a stick.  They finally provided a quote.  Your best mode is to contact your Gatan sales rep so they can put pressure on the people who are responsible for parts.

You might have luck getting a tool from Tom Schmelzer who does a lot of fine machining and may be able to make something for you.  His contact is:

Hello all,

Does anyone know an easy way to find a replacement tool that opens the Gatan 914 cryo holder in the tilted workstation? Our tool has been lost and Gatan is very slow to respond regarding a replacement one. Thanks in advance. Kristin
