Put the other bolts back in and go to a garage, they will have a socket to get them off, or you can hit a seven sided hardened socket one over the locking wheel nut and see if that frees it.

you can get new key from dealer, number on top of old one iirc!

Is it a genuine locking key? I have a load of spare ones in my toolbox. Whats the number in the middle of the key?

I had mine stolen along with one of the locking wheel nuts, went to my local dealer and they removed the other three using their key so I could replace it with aftermarket nuts. Initially they wanted to sell me one nut until things were pointed out simply. Worth a try.
