You need a new tool set. ALL hex deep socket craftsman or snap-on stuff.
The bolt-out set with a 21mm socket should work on your lug nuts.

hahah!!!! PENETRATING OIL BABY LOL
omg, i sprayed some of that crap on, then came up here made the post... then went back downstairs all sad and ****ed... so I decided to put all bolts on and just put the socket into taht stripped nut and began to take it off to test how much of it was stripped... it started to come off easy and at first i was like "damn, i stripped this ***** so bad..." then!! low and behold, the ***** fell off!! yay!! now time to go find me a new lug nut.
Can I ride w/ 4/5 lugs on? I searched and found it was ok for temporary use. lemme know!

The way I would take it off is go to Sears and buy one of those kits to remove stipped nuts and bolts. Second, If you need a standard OEM lugnut, I have 4 of them from a 99.5 SE-L that I'd like to get rid of cheap, email me if your interested. Chris

impact wrench to remove lugnut if needed
remove the wheel and all brake assembly
rotate the hub so the stripped bolt if lined up with the cutout behind the hub
with directed force, hammer the lugbolt out thru the hole
lightly lube the shoulder of the new lugbolt and hammer back in from the reverse
slip on several 1/8 " washers and torque open end wheel nut to about 100 ft/lbs
remove wheel nut and washers and re-istall brakes, wheel and torque lugnut to specs

Cross-thread it. Usually happens with someone using an impact wrench on the lug nuts. If anyone strips one by tightening it with a socket wrench, or the wrench from the tire change kit then they are numb nuts.

penetrating oil saved my *** lol... it loosened it like hell and the lug nut just slipped off.
I was using a torque wrench, but the nut already looked sorta stripped. As for the first bolt (strut nut), that's still on there stripped... I dunno how to take it off! blah, can't even install a simple mod like FSTB

yeah, how much do lugs usually run about? I wanted to get a couple... some of the nuts have taken a toll over the years.
