stripped as in the lug is stuck? just turn until the lug/stud breaks. you will be able to drive fine temporarily with 4 out of 5 lugs. i've driven on 3 before for a few wks. and the studs are pretty simple to change too. if you can change your brake pads. you can change your studs.

I think the reason he is asking is because the tire is flat and he can't drive it.

How is it stuck? Like he said, just break it off and replace it later.

If the lug nut is stuck, like it wont turn, than beat a 5/8 shocket or smaller on to it and then turn it. It its just turns, and you can get all the others off but that one, then pull the whell when you tirn the nut, it should start to come off..but it if dont it should be very easy to break it from there
