Something like this
or call in at your local tyre centre (they usually have something similar).;)

Rover 75 wheel nuts

Hammer a smaller sized socket onto the bolt, put the other four bolts back in first and tighten them up to help release the pressure on the stuck one.

These are a great idea. Might be OK for future use and if you go to a garage they'll probably charge you that much or more just to remove one stuck bolt.--:D

My locking nuts rounded and I was unable to remove them on two wheels.
My garage welded normal studs on them and removed them that way. Charged about £45.

Well, there you go. Buying a removal set would, in your case, have been the cheapest answer to the problem.--:D

The OP too.--;)
