Default wheel problems

ok, my front passenger wheel, two of the lug nuts have been ruined by an idiot mechanic using an air tool on inverted euro tuner lug nuts, he has completely stripped the inside of the bolts, the wheels i have are 18's and he said the only way is to cut the rim off and this and that, im not down with that, what i suggested was buy 2 new studs, which i have done, then using zirconium drill bits i would drill into the existing stud on the car until it loosens enough for the wheel to come off, good idea? im sure this will work but i need to find someone to do this, does anyone suggest i dont do this?

man, this guy wont even admit he made a mistake, he said the metal used for the lug nuts is weak and all sorts of other excuses, so i didnt say anything, im gonna pass that collection onto some friends so they can beat him close to death for trying to cheat me, as far as the other **** goes it might be a great amount of work but i want to drill those 2 studs out and get the two new ones in there with the new set of lug nuts i have because i dont want to risk getting a flat or something and the wheel not coming off etc...can anyone think of anything else?

sounds like ur plan would work perfectly... that or just have hium cut the rim and then the place he works for can buy you another rim and mount and balance the tire on the new rim if not.... BBB time
