Default Stripped lug nut?

I rotated the tires today on my 13 GS 350 and overtightened one of them. It didn't feel right, so I tried to loosen it and start again. Now, the lug spins freely in both directions. I suspect the splines on the stud and/or the hole in the hub are stripped. Any suggestions on how to remove the nut so I can change the stud and/or hub? Thanks!

I have done that with my other car aswell and the easiest way to get it out will be discount tire and they do it for free aswell. I didn't know that and I messed my wheel trying to get it out.

Did you need to replace the hub? If so, is it a simple bolt-off, bolt on swap? Thanks!
