Wheel lug frozen/rounded off

I tried to take my rear wheel off and one of the lugs got rounded off. I think when I took it to get it inspected they used an air ratchet to put them back on. How do I get it off?

they make sockets with teeth to grip rounded nuts, might try a little heat on it too

or you can take a punch and start tapping on it until you get a good lip to hit on then pound it in the off position it works every time

you could get a cheap socket that fits on it tight hammer it on and use a 1/2 breaker bar on it

or you could find those sockets they sell for stripped nuts '

after you get it off anti sieze them and youll never have problems again
