What type of socket are you using? If its the key that comes in the car kit, this may also be worn and it wont help matters.

If its a proper socket drive, make sure there is no wear. Then if this does not work then try the other type of socket. i.e if you have a hex drive go for the splined type drive.

If this still does not work, then weld a wheel bolt onto the knackered one. This worked for me once.
