We've had good luck hammering a slightly smaller 12 point socket on
(sometimes metric) with an extension and then using an impact gun on low. It trashes the socket but they're not that expensive and you can save it for the next time

Hammer and a chisel. Never had a problem, always come off. You've spent more time typing than it would to get them off.

Those look like the "Tuner" splined lug nuts that Discount Tires sells. The socket is $5. Drive by one and see.

I posted something about this a while back. The twelve point socket thing worked for me on my truck. See if you can find my old post.

They suck for regular work but come in handy on the oddball stuff.
I've only used mine a couple times.
