Default Stripped out open ended lug nut

I changed out my old open ended lug nuts with some Gorilla's today. The only problem is that I have one that was so rusted- when I tried to get it off, it just rounded out the inside. So I basically have a open ended lug nut with an entirely rounded out inside and outside plus its set back about a inch and a half inside the rim... Any suggestions on how to get it out?

I've searched and the majority are closed end lugs. I wish it was that easy

If you can get a twist socket it will grap anything round.

We used to take a socket that's just a hair too small and hammer it onto
the lug. Basically it ruins the socket, but if it's craftsman you just excehange it!

Use a deep well socket if it's sunk in there!

Good luck
