...there is no way I can get a socket on the nut as it is inset into the hub so far

Assuming you have enough thread left outboard, just add a suitably thick washer between the bearing and the first nut. Best would be a high quality aircraft type washer which would have the sides ground flat and parallel, and be hardened.
