Default FRIGGIN NUTS!!!!

So I'm doing abrake upgrade and I was removing my wheels and I got to the last wheel and the wheel lock stripped out. I now have no idea how to get it off. Does anyone know how to get them off. The lugs are recessed in the wheel so I can't cut it there is barely enough room to get the socket in there. Please help me with any idea's no matter how crazy.

Use a pencil grinder and make a little notch in the lug, then use a punch/screwdriver and tap in with a hammer. Keep in mind I've never tried this, but I've used this method on other things and it worked.
