Angry Striped lug nut, what to do?

So I fitted the coil-overs on the Miata... adjust, adjust, adjust.

Remove wheels and install coil-overs.

First try was too low, remove wheels and tires to unbolt and adjust ride height.

Second try almost right, back still a little low, go to pull the rear wheels and one lug nut seems to have too much resistance. Closer examination the lug nut doesn't seem to be perfectly straight.

Called place where I bought wheels and tires (America's tire) they said you usually can back a cross threaded nut out and case it back on to straighten it out.

Called the place where I bought the new disk brakes "those are floating disks the studs are in the hubs."

Going to attack the problem this weekend, any advice/experience?

Thanks
