Those are for screws..He needs one for bolts. What i did was get a smaller wrench, smaller than the bolt and i just pounded it with a hammer until i got the bolt out.

I think it will work with bolts also. My friend used it for his exhaust bolt.

Edit: I am sure that it will work with bolts.

You'll need to get a smaller socket and force it to fit on to the lug nut. Than proceed to removing it, the socket will be damage, and also there will be possible minor damage to the wheels. Thats all you can do, since its stripped. Chizzle will mess the wheel up even more, the pound a socket on would be the best beat with less damage.
