hammer on a socket that is a touch smaller than the nut. take off the nut and then get the nut out of the socket. thats how I have done about a dozen locking nuts with no keys or striped keys.

If it's one of the round ones that you can't use a socket on, Weld a nut to the end of it, then use a socket on it. The heat from the weld will help loosen the nut before you try to break it loose. Weld thru the hole of the nut, make sure you have a good weld, and protect the wheel from splatter.
