Air chisel works best I find, chisel one half off and it should come right off. That or a lug nut extractor.

Ya lugnut extractors work wonders. Many shops have them since they work on all sorts of cars and wheels and they don't always have the right lock for the lugnut so they end up using this.

If thats not possible to get then Id take a big flathead screwdriver and hammer a side of the lugnut that will loosen it. Keep banging it till it's loose and bam it's off.

Good luck.
