deep socket trick wont work. it broke too shallow.
looks like im either going to have to get a narrower chisel and a bigger hammer, or dremel, or drill it out.

anyone know if the wheel locks are hardend steel?

Take it to someone that can weld, for instance a muffler shop, and have them weld a nut onto it and remove that.
