If its rounded off, they make specific sockets that grab into the nut and pull it off. try heating it up and then turning it to break it loose if you dont want to buy a socket. Or try the chisel idea

Ive done it on non acorn style lug nuts hit it with a good hammer and the chisel should work fine but they do make a tool for splitting nuts as well (and its not to expensive I actually have one if you were in the same area Id let you use it) that you use a ratchet wrench on

Try pounding a smaller socket on it. Impact socket if you got them like a 18 or even 17mm depending on how rounded it is.

X2 its supposed to be a 19mm. A standard size might fit better if its rounded off weird but i doubt it. Try the 18 or 17mm

I had a mix of 18s, 19s, and 20s on my XJ. When one rounded, I'd just hammer on a size smaller and take it off. Craftsman sockets, so I just took em back to get new ones if they were damaged.
