If it's just a stripped nut, buy a cheap 18 mm long socket and hammer the thing on and use your socket wrench and a pipe for leverage to break it loose. Though if it's a lock key the tell you the truth, it either welding a nut on the end of that one and wrecking the wheel or take to the dealer ship. I know from experience, I worked at a tire shop. Several lock keys broke on us because of over torque or just not cleaning the wheels enough(corrosion).
