Stripped lug nut took me 4 hours and a torch in the rain

Was changing tires on my 2019 quad last weekend and one lug nut was seized on there something fierce. Rounded it off with my socket, then tried the extractor set and that failed too. Ended up cutting it off with a cutoff wheel and using a torch to heat the stud. Four hours for one nut. Has anyone else had a lug nut fight them this bad? What did you end up doing?

Hated anti-seize for years, thought it was lazy and messy. But after fighting a rusted-on lug nut for three hours in the driveway, I slathered it on every stud and never looked back. That stuff saves you the exact headache you just had, trust me.
