if it is still stiff, use an air ratchet. if not, you might have to bring it to a shop to cut your wheel and tire off.

You can try drilling out the lug, similar to what this guy did with his Jeep:

No need to cut the tire and wheel off, just drill out the lug. If that doesn't work, use a dremel to cut into the nut and then chisel the remaining off if need be. If your wheels are pristine, I would tape all around the lug so that nothing slips and scratches the wheel.

You may be able to split the lugnut with a cold chisel, just make sure you protect the rim.
An alloy rim makes it tough, most often being countersunk.
Hopefully, the stud has not started turning with the nut (as you've related) cuz that would indicate you'd also need a hub assembly since the lug stud stripped out.
