the most unhelpful answer ever.
i had the same problem, before you think about taking them off with a remover, take it to tyre garage , i did and they had a massive box full of hundred of different keys and they got mine off with another key!

Garages have every key for their models of cars, not after market wheels. They also charge a fortune for anyone to use them. If they can't get them off they will offer to drill the wheel nuts out.

i had aftermarket ones for my wheels and they just had a random bin of wheel nut keys, 4th one they tried worked,
they charged me £25 and that was just for a new set of locking nuts!

Ahh I see, I was just thinking of about my old work, as it was a Ford garage we had every key for every locking wheel nut used on Fords but that was it. Back street garages may have more yeah.

also, i will add, i got an awesome set of locking wheel nuts , and they come with that code which you can keep safe and if you ever lose the key you just give them the code and they will send or sell you another key specific to your wheels (dont know if thats the norm nowadays anyway)
