HELP ME PLEASE:

Get an extention and a hammer, and beat a 1/2 inch drive socket on the nut. If you dont use the six point it will work better. Use a craftsman socket, and get it replaced next time you're in town... Or use a chinese socket and go buy some real tools while you're in town.

Great suggestions guys! Many of them I use myself. Another way is to find a nut that will fit over the damaged wheel nut ... so the ID is larger then the OD of the stripped nut and then just weld it to the nut ... not the stud!
If the stud is stripped, or turning I just cut them of with a torch, or heat the stud and the nut and use "Frigid" I think it is called to spray on the stud to cool just the stud. Just cutting it off is the quickest and easiest since the stud usually has to be replaced anyway. If the stud is just turning around with the nut ... as in the shoulder of the stud is stripped somehow ... just pull the wheel and hub assembly off together and cut the head of the stud off with a grinder, or torch. That's what I do anyway.
