i've gone through the same situation, here is what I did. I took a socket that would be just a tad smaller than the lug nut. Gingerly pound the socket onto the lock, and using a impact wrench zip them off.
They are fairly soft and it ended easier than it seemed. Just need the socket that is just a bit smaller and a drift to get it out socket once it's off the car.
I ended up tossing my locks out....

After ten years or so I may have finally found my new signature line.
