Re: C5 Locking nut
I got my locking wheel bolts removed at a local tyre/exhaust etc. place. | had my locking key available but it wouldn't work on one wheel so I got the lot removed.
These tyre places are always having to deal with locking wheel bolts that won't come off even when the correct key is available.
The chap used a mig welder to weld a 12 mm bolt to the locking bolt and then removed it with a spanner. It cost £20.
There are devices available but, by the time you've spent on a device, which may not work, you could get the tyre man to do it.

Re: C5 Locking nut
My local tyre company had them all off in about ten minutes, a special tool and a big hammer.

Re: C5 Locking nut
Not really much help to you but the locking nuts are one of the first things I remove from my cars.
As said a garage will remove them for a fee.
