If the inner nut is also damaged, buy a cheap throw away socket that you can pound over top of the nut and hope that you can apply enough torque to break it loose.
The change the remaining 19 lugnuts to the one piece style before they do exactly the same thing.

When (not if) you replace the stock lug nuts, do two more things. First, the one-piece replacements take a different size wrench, so make sure you replace that. Next, fill up the gas tank, pack a picnic lunch, put the stock lug nuts and the crappy factory wrench in a sturdy paper bag, and go for a scenic drive. Search out a cliff above a deep body of water. Being exceedingly careful not to lose your footing, launch the paper bag and its contents into the inaccessible waters. Next you can enjoy the picnic lunch, knowing you will never have to deal with those ridiculous stock lug nuts and the matching thoroughly useless lug nut wrench.

Had the tire pumped up by the AAA guy who couldn't remove the nut and took it to my local tire shop. They easily removed the lug and removed not one but two nails from the tire, which now seems to be holding air...
They gave me the lug (driving sans one on the wheel at the moment) and I was able to play with it. The chrome sheath is loose and slides up and down and side to side when I hold the base and move it with my finger.

Ordered one Mitsu lug (MB579290) for fit and to see if I need a new lug-wrench. If everything seems fine I'll then get a full set and then do what kr98664 suggests with the others.
