HELP Rim lock bolt broken

[Curious]

Last night, got a flat tire. I was looking to change it with the spare one, turns out my luck ran out short. I used too much force with the rim key and didn't properly insert it in the bolt and bent it outta shape. Need to know if theres any shops that can either repair or replace the bolt on a 2000 Subaru Impreza. Can I still manage to take off the tire and pop the spare in?? Any help ASAP, need car to commute to work.

Thanks,

just hammer on a socket

^^^^
that should be the first thing to try, will end up replacing the socket but the best way.

if yours is messed like mine, start drilling, and snap the stud

snap-on makes a socket to specifically remove broken lock nuts, hammer it on and impact it off, i'm sure tire shops have that tool,
either way you risk damaging the rim

any luck, what have you tried so far?

well no luck so far. My best bet is to pump it with air and book my ass to the nearest shop to get it settled. Snap-on? is that a shop or a tool?

Thanks for the help, turns out i'm going to bring car to alberta wheels, have them remove the tire. Then probably replace or fix the hole by canadian tire.

Thanks for the input.
