You could weld a larger nut to the outside and continue to turn it off, or cut the studs and replace them. Welding an extension is a good idea but not everyone can do that. Cutting the studs will not help unless you cut through the rim and destroy that. It would probably cost less to pay for a tow and a mechanic. One option is to use a small grinding wheel to re-shape the outside of the nut so that a smaller 6-sided socket can be hammered on. Another approach is to drill out the stud (not all the way through, just until the bolt falls off). The ruined stud can be pounded out and replaced with a new stud.
