Some people hammer a slightly smaller socket over the locking wheel nut, or weld one on?

Yeah that's all I could suggest really. Could try drilling it out but I'm not sure how much luck you'd have. Looks in a pretty bad way tbh  Sad

I think if you take it to a garage they have a tool / nut (opposite thread) that winds on cutting its own thread, as it gets tighter it will undo you nut.

Big hammer, lots of ignorance, and it'll come off in seconds. Wink
