Stripped Lug

One of my open ended lugs are stripped, is there any tool I can use to get it off, or do I need to get it taken off from a shop....?

Much better than getting a nut loose behind the wheel trying to remove another lug nut.

Ever try to remove a stripped nut.

You'll get real wacky and nutty, hence a loose nut behind the wheel.
