Silver cap came off using a screw driver.
I could then use the alloy wheel security key to to remove the bolt.
Thanks for everyones words of wisdom

Cut the three nails off straight and stuck them together with a blob of filler. Once that had gone off I used another big blob to stick it inside the socket. Gave it 24 hours to set then the nut came off even easier than I expected - I did give it some WD40 for a couple of days before.

I'm the other end of the spectrum...............no locking at all.
So I added another wheel stud that I'd drilled to take a padlock.
