We tried something similar to no avail.

Yep, lose the keyed wheel locks. They offer minimal to no theft protection and they are a royal PITA if your key breaks at the wrong time.

Me too, I lost the lug nut key. Luckily, I found out before I have a flat tire or what not. So, I went to lexus and they remove the theft protection lug nuts on four tires for free. I replace the lug nuts with a regular ones.

as many people have said you can hammer in a socket and basically destroy the lock.

Or just go to your Toyota dealer and buy the key.
