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.
