Default lug nut help!

Can anyone help me with my lug nut problem. I can take 3 out of the 4 lug nut out fine but the 4th one when i tried to take it off, i rounded the nut. Every time when i try to torque it off it just keeps on roundin the nut worse then before. Does anyone know a shop or know a method to take off a rounded nut that is tightly torque onto a wheel? Please help me! Also i dont have much room to work with because its a rota c8 rim.

thanks and HELP!!!

1. Use a socket one size smaller and hamer it onto the lug.
2. Buy an emergency lug remover tool (available at autozone) however I dont know if youll have enough room for it

the problem is that rota c8 have this special key that a regular socket wont fit. I've tried it and i barely have any room to play around with.

find a socket the approximate size and hammer it on.

thats a standard spline wheel lock, a local tuner shop or even discount tire should have one you can buy or borrow.
