I know this may be common sense. But, make sure you use some penetrating fluid too if the lug is seized to the stud. After spraying the penetrating fluid on there tap the lug with a hammer a bit. The vibrations will work the fluid in there a bit. Also, if you get a long breaker bar (like 4ft or more) you can gradually apply pressure which will give you more control and make is less likely that you will apply lateral force and round it more.

lastly a dremel is a really small tool that could work with the cut-off wheel and may get into the small spaces. But you'll need quite a few cutting disk.
