Have you tried taking it to a place that specializes in wheels and tires? Some keep extra keys around, or would be able to remove it by force. If that fails, you may have to invest in some drill bits and try to force through the lock, at least enough to make a socket fit over it and turn it. Careful not to hit the stud. Angle grinder may work?
Also try parking in a ghetto, while on jackstands. This will cost a wheel, but will get it removed.

Try chiseling through the openings with a chisel and good hammer, carefully of course. Split the thing open basically.

This is really kind of last resort type advice, but you can try welding a nut to the end of the locking nut. Note that its much harder to weld a nut to something like this then you would think. Large stud remover might work too, its a round nut.

Damn man, you got to get an extractor set, consider getting a titanium set, and that will take care of it, but you gotta take a lot of time.
