Does anyone know a cheap way to remove a mashed up locking wheel nut! £80 to drill but don't really want to pay that amount if there a cheaper way!

Park your car in your local Ghetto, your nuts will soon be off then

what type of nut was it? Is it the new shaped ones (sort of like a cartoon star if u know what i mean)? I was told the new ones are made from a stronger material then before by my local garage!
