Default Stripped Lug Nut....Help

I can't seem to catch a break with my new cobra, for gods sake it isn't even registered yet. I have a flat (simple fix), but when i got to the last lug nut I found out that the bolt seems to be stripped. The nut is fine, I can get plenty of grip on it, but the bolt seems to be stripped and keeps turning and turning. I did some quick research and seems like the only thing that can be done is to cut it, crack it, or drill it off and replace both the nut and the bolt. Before I break out the grinder are there any other alternatives????? Thanks

Ryan
