Default I need help...lug key broken AND locks stripped

So i was changing a flat thing morning and found out that 2 of my locks are stripped AND the tool is actually broken. The inside of the tool looks like it has been twisted and is close to snapping. How can I get the locks off of my car?

A tire shop can probably get them off for you. When mine broke, I had the dealer replace them for me bc they put them back on WAY too tight the last time they had rotated the tires and one of the locks broke.

You can burn them off with a torch...I had to do that about 5 years ago when I first got my RX and I realized the last owner never had the lug key.
