Mig welder --weld on a bolt--get on it right away the heat from welding will help..I've also used a propane torch then air chisel to spin off
I did this and it worked very well. I had a blow out on my fox body years ago on the highway....put the spare on ....thought I picked up the key and drove away. Imagine my surprise when I went to put my new tire on.....figured the locks were useless so it wouldn't matter if I messed them up.

 
Yes, this time it was the hard way... If you are lucky to find a lug nut, wheel nut, etc. that will fit and allow you to turn the wheel lock, easy peasy...

Not in my case, I had lots of options to try, but in the end, the wheel lock on the car was a softer metal and whatever you put on it just chewed up the remaining metal, eventually you have nothing left to work with.

In the end it worked out, perseverance.... a Mustang owner's trait.
