Yeah man this happened to me a while back, I went to pep boys and got a universal style socket, worked!
Just tell someone your problem there, and they should lead you to it. It kinda looks like a hexagon shaped piece.

Re: Stripped Wheel lock removal?!?
After trying every other recommended remedy over 2 days, we finally found the answer. DuraPro MegaTorque 12V Impact Wrench (plugs into 12v vehicle socket - $50 with carrying case and sockets at Pep Boys) along with 2 pc Lug Nut Remover Socket Set ($20). Although it cost us $70, it was a breeze, we have the impact wrench for future tire changes, and it was less than a tow. If only we had known about it in the first place. It turned a nightmare into a dream!!
