The only thing I can suggest is to take it to a repair person. In the closeup I do see the six inner faces of the hex; they do look a little smoothed out though. I don't know for sure, but I'm wondering now if it's metric. Previous owner might have used a standard allen wrench and eventually smoothed out the inner surfaces.

If you can, maybe get a metric allen wrench set and see what happens.

The non bullet truss rod necks I believedid not have a simple allen wrench adjustment. The only strat I have is a Bullet. If yours is supposed to be the same, it would almost seem the bullet part snapped off at some point. Did you have this guitar as a brand new instrument?

Also I'm wondering if there's a screw-head at the base of the neck.
