Soak it in WD-40 and remove it by hand. Losen it and than tighten it slowly back and forth until the lug nut comes off. After removing clean up the threads with the proper die. If the threads are too goofed replace the stud. Buy a new lug nut.

stripped LUG nut, not STUD right?, if you dont mind waisting a socket, knock a socket over it and break it loose with a ratchet, or breaker bar. works every time.
