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?!
Replace the lug with new ones. Yeah the stock ones are prone to break and strip. WHen replacing, it is suggested to replace all 5 lugs on located on each wheel. I haven't had this happen to my Z however, when I had new tires installed, the tire dealer mention that Nissan lug are problematic.
