On my Volvo Titan 17inch wheel the lock nut is stripped, how do I take the nut out? The special key also got stripped.

The wheel won't like a torch at all. The drill method looks like a winner. I have done this before. Did a step drilling until I got close, then used a small chisel, and it came out in pieces.

Take it to a tire shop. They have a special socket that goes on an impact wrench that digs in and twist the lug bolt out. Use a torque wrench when you install your lug bolts, they only get tightened to 80 ft lbs.

Thanks Mike, I called 4 large tire dealers and they do not have such a socket.
One told me they will chisel it out, another told me they will drill it out,
another told me they will torch it out, all without guarantee to the wheel.
