That's part of your problem. You are using 1/2" drive on something that is only a 14mm bolt.
Absolute worst case scenario, I would've used no more than 3/8" (and even 1/4" drive if it was a super sensitive bolt so I don't accidentally overtorque it).

List price is $120. Much easier to just put on a new one than to take off, clean, fix, and reassemble... especially if the mechanic guarantees their work.
