I design IFR procedures and also fly them. I've had occasion to have to make a turn of up to 105 degrees, but never 110 degrees. The rules here state that, if within 5 degrees of a sector entry boundary, we can use either of those sector entries. So, when I'm in that situation, I always use the one that produces the smaller heading change.
And, before anyone asks, yes, the sector entry protection extends to that 5 degree zone of flexibility at the boundaries.
Did you actually have to make such a holding entry in real live?
