Break them, just put force on a 4 way by stepping on it, they WILL snap free, and just replace them!

I got an '85 Monte and had the same problem a few years back, go find a pipe or something you can slip over your lug wrench, and that should give you the added force to break it off, replace the lugs afterwards, they are only a couple bucks for a set. If all else fails, call up a few garages around your area, and they can strip/break them off with neat little air drills for a fee.
