third option is weld an extension on the lug nut and break it free....just takes more time...the socket will work the best if you cant find a match to your lock key

I've seen a socket made to remove stripped lugs.. kinda like a reverse easy out.

I am the owner, my car was totaled and I am taking the ZR1 wheels off. But the fucking wall snapped off of half of the nut. Thanks for the tips, but I am looking for a specific tool. I'll be calling around to see if anyone carries it. It's similar to an ease-out.

It isn't the key for the lock, it is the actual lock/nut. Half of the wall broke off and now the key is useless. Of course that was the only lug I had a problem with on all the wheels. Imagine that...
