There are also tools to remove stripped lugs or lock lugs that you don't have the key for. I have a couple different styles from when I worked at Sears Auto a long time ago. We'd use them on lock lugs all the time when customers lost there keys for them.
I'm not sure where you get them... like I said I got mine on the job.... but basically, it's a socket looking thing except it's got like four prongs that slip over the lug. Around the prongs is a tubular sleeve with a nut behind that... You slip the prongs over the lug and when you start tightening the nut, it forces the tubular sleeve avound the prongs which compresses or crimps around the lug and locks itself on to it... then you can use an impact gun preferably to just zap off the lug. It works like a charm every time... I'll take a pic of one so you can see what I'm talking about. If you can't find a place to buy one, most tire shops should have one and they could get the lug off.
