    Try using an air hammer with a straight punch on the remains of the anvil. You might be able to get the anvil to push the socket off.

    If you don’t have a air hammer, you can try a punch and hammer

    Diamond tip mini rotary grinder will work too. You can grind two notches in the anvil and use some needle nose pliers to pull it out

    Not a mechanic but if this was me I would be thinking “what could I wiggle behind that socket to get some sort of leverage?”

    Maybe loop so fishing line around the socket just to be able to pull it back off the lug. If you loop twice might be able to create something that gives even pressure across the back so it just slides off.

    At least at that point you can get the right size for the job and try again.

    Drill a hole and tread in a dry wall screw and pull it out with a pliers. Socket will loosen buy rocking tight to loose.
