Stripped lug nut

I bought used rims and got some pretty shitty tuner lug nuts - rusty and what have you. I put them on temporarily, and all of them came off, except one. I stripped the inside of it. Here's some pictures for you guys:

Any suggestions on how to get it off? It's snowing up here in Canada and I would love to be ready to put on my winter tires. Cheers!

Re: Stripped lug nut

You could weld a nut onto the end and remove it, but you are going to have to be really careful because alloy rims will melt at welding heats.

With the rim design you will probably only be able to get a few tack welds in there.
