The spout on our kitchen mixer tap has always been a bit stiff so I

even that's too long. The gap I have is around 23mm. An allen key with a
phillips/pozi head might fit, but is there such a thing? I'm sure
plumbers must have encountered this problem.
Cheers for any advice
You can get right angled screwdrivers, even ratchet ones

I have something very similar which is a Halfords "own brand". Failing
that you could always grip a screwdriver bit in a small mole wrench
which would let you apply axial force as well as "twist".
Ah, you obviously missed the mole grips mention in the original post
The bits I have are all 25mm and I imagine that's a standard size.
I could do with 3 or 4 mm less. Looks like an angle grinder job
