Default Locking lug nut socket

Where can I get a replacement socket for the locking lugs on my 86 coupe? Mine is stripped out and it took 2 hours to get the blasted lug off. Wnat to remove these things.

If you are looking for just the key to fit your locking lug nuts I think you are in trouble. Maybe your Chevy dealer can remove the remaining three so you can put on new ones. Locking lug nuts can be cut off but you gotta have a steady hand.
