Default F'ed up my wheel lock? Help!

So I did something really stupid. I was trying to swap out my rotors, and failed, couldn't get the damn thing off. I decided I was just going to take it over to a guy at Nissan that I trust to do it.

In the process of putting back on my wheels, I forgot to put on the spacer. It wasn't until my car was back on the ground, and I was torquing up the lugnuts when I noticed that the wheel lock was just spinning in place, immediately I realized that the spacer wasn't on there. I jacked the car back up, removed the lug nuts, but the wheel lock is just spinning in place. It feels like it's separated from itself.

Any idea how I can get this bastard off?

Worst case is, I have some open ended lug nuts, I should be able to throw those on the other 4 bolts, and at least drive to Nissan. How safe will that be? Nissan is like 5 miles away, on a 50 mph road.
