lugnut adapter stripped! Now what?

ok, I should have known better than to put on one of those special lugnuts with the adapter socket but I did

Now I went to remove the tire (on removed axle right now) and the darn thing stripped (don't you hate that feeling when you feel a bolt "mush"?). I tried vice grips, channel locks etc... My thought is to weld the adapter with a few spotwelds to the lug nut. I already removed the other three and am trashing them...

Who has tackled this issue? Thanks...
