Pound on an old socket that just doesn’t make it 'cause it’s too small. Once you have convinced it on there with a sledge, hook it up to a impact, and it should come right off.

get the stripped bolt things from sears
i just had to do this to that camaro i bought
totally worth $40
EDIT: and the madder you get at them, the better they work
obviously, this is one of the best tools ever
Pound the living shit of them to get them on there, torque them the fuck off

i used to work there, they will help u out. They have a list of patterns and everything but the parts are quite expensive.
just go buy urself a wheel lock/stripped bolt remover…it will destroy ur wheel lock but it will take it off
