would it be possible to cut the end of the stud off from the back and pull it through?
Just an idea if you cant find a key for it.
Another idea would be to try to grind that out with a carbide bit or something and create a socket to fit a square or hex driver into it.
GL w/ that.

you would have to cut the brake backing plates off to get to the back of the stud. that might not even be possible in the rear.
i was thinking the safest bet would be to drill it out, but that might be a fiasco depending on how hard the nut and stud are.
im assuming you have already searches the whole car fir the key?

Weld an acorn style lugnut to the end of the locking one. Only weld where the threads of the acorn nut are, so you don't f up the rim. I do this all the time...

Those are gorilla locks from auto zone or advances... Drill the center of the studs if you can't find the lock or weld another nut on it like he said^^^

Welding a nut on takes a few seconds, drilling or anything else will take forever and possibly damage the rim.

these wheels are like $1000 each replacement. for ty, im sure a drill and time will net better results than a welder lol.
but, someone who has done it before shouldnt have a problem welding a nut on there.
