I hope whoever decided that this is the way to go steps in a puddle with socks on...
I felt it twist weird as I applied weight to the socket & tried to hammer it back into place but the damage was done... I went to the local auto place & grabbed the smallest stripped lug socket they had (for 17mm to 19mm & mine was 19mm with the chrome jacket) and applied some non-impact persuasion to try to remove it. Everything was going good & the reverse thread socket forced itself onto the stripped lug nut all the way. I slipped a pipe onto the breaker bar and... it just spun. I stripped it even farther
So, now my plan is to just hit it with my purse & take it to the local mechanic to see if he can get it. I ordered new SOLID lug nuts to prevent this from happening again...
