Believe it or not, most tire shops and dealerships have master keys--and I mean all of them. They will deny they exist. But they do.

The easiest way is to go to a tire shop and have them bust it. It won't damage anything. It probably will leave some scratches though.

Or wrap the lug nut with sand paper, then hammer in a socket and screw it out.
There are other ways....but I don't think its safe telling it to everyone.

just get some sand paper to put around the lug, get a slightly smaller socket that you don't care about/don't care if you damage, hammer it onto your lug and then unscrew it... if its a factory lock (mcguard?) the dealer will have master keys... a lot of tire shops also have universal lug nut keys.. but of course then your going to have to pay them and buy new lug/locks from them..
