Tape up the area well. Then centerpunch the lug and start drilling. Use a small bit and keep increasing it in size until you drill enough of the center out to allow the lug nut to wiggle off.

I had that happen on one and I kept turning it off witch stripped the lug nut stud. After the nut was off (you might get enough space to saw the stud off by moving the wheel forward) I just got a new stud at NAPA. They are easy to replace and cheap.
