Fred,
I had this same problem with my '78 Zeus Criterium. At one time I lived within range of a now deceased bike shop in Albuquerque that was a major Zeus seller in its day. According to the owner, the crank bolt takes a special thin wall Zeus tool. It was designed like this so as to forgo the need for crank bolt covers to keep out dirt.
