Help! 3 winter and 1 summer tire!

I was switching to my winter tires/rims this evening and had 3 of the 4 done, when I went to remove the 4th Wheel Bolt Lock the special lug key stripped out the design inside the key so I am stuck with 3 winter tires and one summer tire on the car. The Summer rim is 17" 225/45 and the winter wheels are 15" 225/60. Is it safe to drive like this, will the ASR / Traction Control go crazy? Please help! Thank you!

Not safe at all...ASR might not freak out if you drive carefully on dry pavement...but only to take it to a tire shop.

A few years ago, I had an issue with a misplaced wheel lock tool, and Discount Tire got the wheel lock removed for about $20.
