take it to a shop, they'll have the tool and it should take <2mins.
Otherwise you'll just make a mess and damage your rims if you dont have the right tools.

Go to CT and buy a socket for stripped nuts. Hammer it on the lock nut, and then unscrew.
Or go to shop as mentioned above

yes if you love getting your headliner dirty, mirror clips broken, wheel locks lost and doors hacked up because they "forgot" where your key is

no need for a shop. I work in a shop and i use my princes auto sockets to take off wheel locks. Its kinda like the one posted accept that one wont grip a smooth wheel lock that good. The ones i got from princes auto got a sharp reverse thread in them so you hammer it on all the way then zap it with a gun, comes off first shop usually sometimes gota zap it twice. And second of all its common to forget to put the wheel lock back especially if you are doing alot of work to the car and you leave it on youre tool tray.
