Welded nuts to the end of each of them and spun them off. One other lug nut was messed up by another tire shop so I drove a deep well impact socket on that one and spun it off. He had a new set of all lug nuts so we installed those before he left.
That deep socket trick is a real eye-opener when someone comes in to have a tire changed, without the key. Hammer that socket on (we had a split one that worked great for this) and spin the "locknut" off. McGard's? What McGards?
