Same here. But some shops have a tool made by Snap On to remove them. You chuck it in a drill and spin it on the outside of the nut, the heat of friction removes the temper, and then the tool has teeth that bite in.

I had a McGard wheel lock that had been installed with an impact gun and was impossible to remove. You couldn't get enough torque on the adapter.
