Default Wheel Stuck On Car. Stud spinning

Hi all,

While attempting to bleed my brakes, I discovered one of my lug nuts spins freely. It appears that the stud has broken free from the hub and I can't get the nut to loosen. I've asked around and have tried putting tension on the stud and hitting with the impact. I've also put an extractor bit in the center and tried to pull the stud back into the hub. I've ordered some carbide bits to ultimately drill out the stud...

Has anyone out there run into this problem? It's on a rear wheel and I might be able to get to the axle nut. If I can't drill out the stud I have to try to take the wheel and hub off the car together... any thoughts put there? I have a new hub, studs, and nuts on the way.

Good thing I already paid for the upcoming track day
