Default Need help please

I'm Russell's roomate. Anyway I got a flat on my 2001 Lexus IS 300 and I messed up my wheel lock key trying to take the wheel lock off because the lock and the lugs were the tightest I've ever tried to loosen. Lexus told me they cant sell me anything, they told me I can only have it towed down there and they will use there master key to get it off, I live in Tampa but the car is way in Land O Lakes so I cant afford the towing. The other thing they told me was to call a number on a special card in my car and that company will send me a new wheel lock key but I'm missing that card. I've already tried a pipe wrench, channel locks, vise grips with no luck I would put fix a flat in the tire to get it home or to Lexus but the tire and rim are slightly not lined up anymore so that wouldn't work. I'm thinking about trying a gator grip but the wheel lock is perfectly smooth around but I was thinking about roughing it up so the gator grip would have something to bite. Only other thing I can think of is hammer and a chiesel but someting to remember this bitch is super tight and I'm a strong mofo and I couldn't get it even before I messed up the wheel lock. The other thing was to hammer the the key on but I think the metal on the key is to out of whack to get the key beat on right. Thanks Ray
