return value 55 is a known case, and definitely has articles on Metalink.
Also as far as I remember nmiconf.log still exists (in $ORACLE_HOME/network/log) and has details about the initialization process/discovery process

The traditional fix is to
delete all *.q, *.jou, *.inp, tcl*, dbsnmp.ver, services.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent

do NOT delete *vpp* files (this may be your case, you need to place dummies there, details on Metalink)

delete snmp_r[ow].ora in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

create a dummy snmp_ro.ora with only one line snmp.visible_services = ()

restart the agent. This usually works.

Good luck.
