Mine were actually snapping off when i tried to change mine. I had to replace all 16 lugs.

I STRIPPED THE KEY HOLE INSIDE THE NUT INSELF.

what are you using to take them off? i just do it all by hand and i never strip anything. just make sure you line up the key and the lock and you should be fine.

THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN ON AND OFF SOMANY TIMES THE KEY ITSELF IS WORN DOWN,WHICH DOSEN'T FIT TIGHTLY INTO THE LUG.I TRIED A T-BAR AND AN IMPACT WRENCE ON IT.I MIGHT HAVE TO WELD A BOLT INSIDE THE NUT TO GET IT OFF.
