Default HELP, Cant remove wheel lock

to make a long story short my aftermarket wheel locked was way stripped and wouldent remove, so i started chiseling it with an air hammer, hoping to split the lug. to make matters worse i have 3/4 struts/ shocks changed to aftermarket supra tt/ eaibach combo. so any ideas on how i can break the stud, or somehow get this son of a ***** out? thank you so much for your help!

take it to a rim shop and have them cut the lug nut off.

or you can try to JAM a smaller hex socket on the lock

depending on the type of lock you have, you may be screwed.

if you could somehow cut a slit in the end of it, then unscrew it with something much like you would a flathead screw.
