I've used Park cone wrenches on my 7700 hubs with no problems. I'm still not sure you don't have an opening width mismatch rather than a thickness issue.
Thanks! I was assuming both were 13mm. Because the 13 would slide over the cone flat. I wasn't paying attention to whether the locknut was a different size. An oversight on my part. Thank you!
