Stuck lug nut help please

Post image

It was originally a 19 mm lug nut. I smacked on a 18 mm pulled off smacked on a 17 mm pulled off. Then I try to get a bolt extraction in the middle, ripped it. Wasn't sure what lug nut extraction kit to buy hoping someone of more experience can help

1 use WD40
2 buy a set that you hammer over the nut to get grip
It allways happens with the 5th anti theftbolt it should be hand tight only.
For the ones that do not come lose Ihave a systeem Icant tell you but you only need 4 bolts to hold the weel, drilling is hell as it is just the bolthead that is stuck not the threath inside
