Locking wheel bolt help.

Need to take a locking wheel bolt off.
Due to it being reccessed into the wheel I can't weld anything onto it, I can't knock a socket over it and I can't find the key.
I've been told they are a pain to drill.
Any other ideas.
Cheers,
Jamie.

Edit: just seen that you can't knock a socket over it
Out of interest, why is that ?

is it the bmw key type locking wheel nuts if so smash the head off with a chiesl and it will uncover the 17mm bolt head and undo like normal

It's one of the Mcguard ones.
And I can't get a socket in due to design of the wheel.

I haven't resorted to that yet!
