Default Help - Locking Wheel Nut Issue Ahhhhhhhhh

Can anyone advise what i can do? My locking wheel nut key broke tonight and i need to get my wheel off. I bought some reverse thread sockets and tried that and now i have that stuck on the locking nut and can't get either off my car. The reverse thread socket just keeps turning, i think the locking nut must have something on it to stop the use of this type of tool or chapping a smaller socket on.

Ahhhhhhhhh

Have you got a picture? Post it. Can help from there. I have used a hammer and smaller size chuck to get a lock on the lug, applied a ton of force - which will likely help, but damage the stud in process (which can be replaced). What have you got?
