Your nearest tyre place should be able to get it off, they usually have special tools to do it. Or take it back to who last serviced the car & get them to sort it!Bodsys Brake Bible

you can get a nut remover, which has a sort of helical thread inside it that bites into the rounded wheel nut. Try a local tyre place, as you can drive home with 4 out of the 5 nuts in OK.

In the past I've done similar to MacLeod - got a an old socket that was slightly to small and whacked it on to the nut.
