Try calling around a few tyre fitters - they often have a 'locking-nut-getter-offerer' which they will use for a small fee. As long as they can get a grip on the nut it should be ok.

depends on the wheelnut design, but you can often do it by getting a socket that's 1mm smaller, then smacking it over

Just what I have to do, works well if you don't over tighten wheelnut.

you can get locking wheel nut removers from screwfix for about £10 a set.
hope this helps
