I use a 5/16", which is essentially the same difference. SAE rules!

8mm ratchet wrench is the best, they sell an actual battery wrench at like Walmart (Idk if there's a Walmart around you but any parts store)

You will need to use a small pair of Vise-Grips and once remove I would install new battery bolts.

Yeah, that screw is easily replaceable so you may want to add on to your next parts order. It just pops out of the molded PVC cable end.
