Put some cling film over it and make one with epoxy putty and put a hex drive bit in the top. 

Nice looking hub nuts - care to share where you got them from ?

What do the across flats measure? Looks like a standard 12 point drive.

Lol your counting is better than my quick to react conclusion :) I’ve been browsing small 12 points, I have no clue how small this is but can give up now!

Should the mould making solution not appeal, I have a friend that owes me a favour and can do basic 3d printing, just give me some key dimensions and I’ll happily give it a shot.

If it was a bit bigger you could do it with a scone/biscuit cutter!

I agree with @Tamiyabigstuff

Turn an old socket upside down, line it with film or if you dont need it, fill the middle of the 1/4, 3/8, with bluetac, and use something that sets. If you are brave you could probably melt plastic sprues in there, another layer of film and press the hub in there? Just thinking out loud.

Assuming it's not super tiny one of these universal socket drivers will probably shift it.
