Wheel lock cross threaded! Suggestions?

Somehow my wheel lock cross threaded and when I try to take it off it just seems to be getting tighter

and it feels as though it's going to snap off the wheel stud. Any ideas on how to remove it or should I just order a new wheel stud in anticipation? Thanks.

i had the same thing happen to me, it just broke off and i took it to a shop and they had a kit to put one back on. I found the replacement stud and a replacement locker at a parts store
