use grip pliers.
put them at a setting where its going to be hard to make them grip.
then get a pipe that has a hole wide enough and use that to turn it.
worked for me

some auto stores have sockets that you can BEAT onto the wheel nut made for stripped wheel nuts/lugs.

get a lug nut extractor from a tool supply store or tool guy. i have a set of snapon ones.
they have removed a many stripped lugnuts.
vice grips ftl... i guess it goes to show the difference between a mechanic and a what ever you want to call it.
there is a tool for every job and a job for every tool. the tool guy say this all the time, never understood it till i hear some of the advice givven to hac a job.
