   Take it 2 a tyre place they will be able to help u remove them they won't charge much. Then just replace with new bolts.

   you need the code off the top of the old locking wheel nut key mate. If you havent got that then your best bet would be to get chiseling
   You can sometimes get others keys to fit if you can be bothered looking...and iirc there is a tool you can buy to remove them
   
   Depends if you have cash to spare..if not, chisel away
