badly stripped lug need ideas
A tire shop may be the only way I have seen were they weld a socket to a wheel lock and remove them maybe they could weld the nut to the stud and then twist/snap it off like I have done.
Anyway a tire shop is probably the only way to get it done.

Harbor Freight/Princess Auto, 4-piece damaged nut/bolt/lug remover kit is $19.99 regular.

They're aggressively threaded reverse sockets. You put it on, give it a quick tap with a hammer to start it, then use an impact gun/large 1/2" ratchet with a cheater bar. It's a 30 second job with an air impact, few minutes with a hand ratchet.
Use the 4-piece set of what I linked above all the time at work, even on 15/16" lug nuts that are stripped and seized on old F-350's. Rips them right off.

Thanks guys i tried everything posted minus the tire shop and welding the nut and got no where its the nut from hell lol i started a combo of drilling and chiseling it eventually came around not without damaging the rim a bit but i want a new set of rim eventually anyway lol
Just chopped it up and removed it that way how barbaric of you. ha ha ha
Whatever it takes
I had purchased what looked to be good set of lug nuts off ebay last year only to find out they sucked big time the nuts kept jamming on the studs and kind of even turning a bit sideways on me. That’s when I found out if you just use a big crank bar them the studs they snap off with ease.
Never buy lug nuts off ebay

Man I miss the mom and pop auto stores most are gone now but I used them all the time till places like autozone and the like killed all the mom and pop auto stores. We had one called Hub auto that was fantastic usually had anything under the sun for the auto they even had bar like stools to sit on as you were helped and a huge selection of quality nuts and bolts I mean HUGE wall to look at and the same in special tools to buy. They are still in business last I knew good for them.
Sorry got side tracked ah the old days
