You might try hammering on a 1/2 inch drive 21 mm socket, or one that just don't quite fit......with a 4 lbs lump hammer... ..with a breaker bar, undo the nut...hopefully

The cheap China made sockets will usually do the job and they are real cheap.

'Snap On' makes a lug nut removal kit...although WAY expensive...try your local repair shop to see if they can use theirs on your lugs.
