But in all seriousness I've heard of people pounding 1 size too small sockets on and getting them off that way just make sure you have a strong socket

Blue Point or Snap On makes a socket set for messed up lug nuts and for those times when you loose a key for a wheel lock.

Are they the stock lug nuts and the little chrome covers came off?

If so, hammer an 18mm socket on them.

I love me an iphone (do not own one... yet...) but man do i freakin hate autocorrect! Apparently most smartphones have it now to boot, not just iphone... Ugh. Someone needs to create intelligent autocorrect that can sense the context the word is used in rather than just thinking it is a misspelled word!
