Default Lugnut disaster

I went to have my wheels/tires replaced with a new set I purchased and it turns out that one of the lugnuts was stripped and the bolt that it's attached to it apparently completely loose from the back of the rotor (or whatever it's connected to)

The last mechanics to touch it were at a Nissan dealership and it took them over 6 hours to change the tires and had to replace the wheel lock twice.

The stripped nut doesn't even look like an OEM part and it's completely thrashed and now they say they don't know howto get it off and want me to wait for their master tech to look at it.

Another shop said they can just strip the last few threads of the nut by forcefully pulling the wheel off, and scratching the fk out the wheel in the process.



I'm at a loss now on what to do or if I should even trust my car to this dealership again but I'm currently riding around on 3 20" wheels and this stuck one is OEM and bald so I really need to replace it ASAP.

Any ideas? Anyone? For the love of god?!
