Any idea on removing a lock nut without using the key?

The key was damaged on the inside.

it is not a tuner lock nut it is the older style.

Get tire shop to take it out. Get another key.

I know how, but don't expect to keep the same nut cus it will get damaged,

Just use i think it's either the same size socket or 1 size lower, and jam it on to the lock nut, use a hammer if you have to.... then, unscrew it , then to take the nut out of the socket, just throw the nut and socket on the ground a few times till it just falls out. Your socket should actually still be good.
