There is no 10% early withdrawal exception for a first time homebuyer from a 401(k) account. That is only available for a withdrawal from an IRA and then only the first $10,000 has the exemption.

See this IRS website for early withdrawal exceptions from other than an IRA - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc558
