Find a socket that won't go over what's left and wrap it up in so much tape that it won't fit into the recess where what's left of the bolt head is hiding, then hammer the little begger in, the tape will keep the socket square and stop it bouncing off. I used the same socket for all 4 of my lockers and it only gripped the top 2 or 3 mm of the bolt.

Worth a try. Make sure you use a good Ball - pein hammer not a lump hammer as you will dent the alloy at some point. I have the VPC bag of P2 non-locking bolts I can pass on to you if you need it. I won't use lockers now

good idea!!
if i had 5 alloys...id be down to 4 now!!!!!
just cannot understand the muppetry in some people to overtighten these things..the other 4 had to be undone with a breaker bar..yet the other wheels were as you would expect!!
still,on the upside,new droplinks fitted,and front and rear genuine volvo mud guards fitted..
