You could try the Gator Grip from Home Depot or Lowes.

Like he said depending on the type you could smash a socket onto it and remove but you will ruin one socket.

I'd like to say that they're gorilla blue lug nuts, but the top is a flat so I'm not positive on that. Are the rest of the lug nuts you removed also blue?

This is what I have in my box from when I worked at Acura, this thing will fucking dominate any wheel lock.
