Make sure the other 4 nuts are on at normal torque to relieve stress on existing lug nut.
These lug nuts are aluminum so they don't handle stress well from the stock lug wrench or impact tools. Best to use a 1/2 breaker bar and the plastic lined sockets.

Slightly smaller 12 point here would be 11/16" If you try this, perhaps soak the threads with penetrating oil first? Might work, and wouldn't harm any drill efforts later...
