Stripped bolt on rim please help!!!!!!!! 200

i have a set of virago rims. its winter here now in canada so after taking off three of these rims and going to the fourth i discovered it had two stripped bolts. the wrenches just slip off. with the virago's the bolts in and inch deep. so its difficult to get at. with a torque wrench it was set to 90 foot-lbs. so its hard to get the non-stripped off even. SO what can i do to get the stripped bolts off?? please help!!!!! Thank you

What kind of socket are you using?
Use a 19mm deep socket.

Other things, use Pblaster to soak them before hand.

Wow I wish I could offer some real help, all I would know to do is put rest of the nuts back on for that wheel and drive to a good tire/wheel shop. If I were nowhere near such a shop and I had a really heavy duty 1/2 drill with some large bits, I'd try drilling out the stud. Studs are cheap and easy to replace.

At least with 240s, after owning 11 of them, I've found using antiseize on the studs is mandatory.

Your post reads as if you have a rounded off lug nut. If so then it would be wise to have someone with an impact to get it off. They might have to hammer on the socket. Ninety ft/lbs sounds excessive for a volvo wheel stud. Maybe I'm wrong.
