How do you ~wear~ a 5.5mm socket wrench? What, pray tell, is 5.5 mm on your body? Your pinkie, perhaps?
I'm not sure if you're joking or if you didn't understand what Larry meant... The term "wore out" means that the continued use of the item caused the parts to degrade to the point where it needed to be replaced.
For example, if you do a lot of driving, you might "wear out" the tires on your car, because little-by-little the rubber wears down, and has to be replaced. As a verb, you might say "I wore out the tires on my car".
Larry is saying that he "wore out" the tool he got from IBM, so he bought two new ones.
