Yes, there are several styles that exist, none quite as good as a driver meant for your particular nut or bolt, so I recommend “nutting it up” (lol - make myself laugh) and buying a proper set.

If you do want to go the variable route - and I understand why — the suggestion to find a “variable nut driver” is the route to go.

I have an old British defender with a random mix of Imperial and metric parts, so I understand. Happens in the oilfield a lot, too. The Russians even have some weird third set of measurements.

I still have my set of Whitworth sockets and wrench’s from back in the day riding Nortons and BSA’s. Anyone want to make an offer?
