They have a kit with 4 different sized sockets designed to remove locking lugs. Kit number is LT14240 $70.00 I am sure there are multiple other types of kit like this out there.
Other than that,you're looking at splitting the nut with a chisel-prefferably air powered-be careful if you are trying to save the rims.

at the shop here we have had good luck if you have the room to get the cheap reverse threaded cone shaped lug removers
Check your local tire place, they often have a bunch of keys to open the various types of wheel locks.
Otherwise, take a cheapie 12pt socket that is slightly smaller than the lugnut, hammer it on, then break the lugnut off.

we had a vw in the other day that had splined locks on it and i welded the stripped out key to the lug bolt and had to use a breaker bar to get it loose
every impact in the shop wouldnt touch it
we have also welded various things to get stripped lugs off
