Yikes! It looks like you've already marked the wheel up. If it were me, I'd drill the studs, at this point. It will take some work, but you can drill the studs out with a good, high speed corded drill, and a quality bit. It looks like the end of the studs are concaved, so centering the studs should be fairly easy.
Ouch, I would try to see if you could hammer on a 12 point socket on there. Trying to drill the stud will be a pain and trying to cut the nut will only put more hurting on that wheel. Are you using an impact gun? High speed spinning is the key.
Also put undamaged nuts back on the other studs and torque them to down. It will take pressure off of the messed up ones.
Is it at all possible to remove the brake caliper and remove the hub assembly?
That was one of the things I was thinking of but looking at the pictures of his wheels it would be tough getting the center cap off. Plus the calipers are pretty close.

Don't understand getting the difficulty in removing the cap?
I must say I'm pretty impressed with the effectivenes of the wheel locks though.
