A 7/16 regular socket is loose, a 3/8 socket is too small, would that mean the bolt head diameter is around 11 MM?
Have you checked with an Autozone or similar to see if they have the tool to lend? If nothing else, it would allow you to validate the correct size. Maybe you have a local mechanic that you work with that could help?

ETA: Apparently, "some" Brembo calipers use a socket that's 11.5 mm...
