Unless there's something unusual about the hub with the flat, just snap
off the lug (it can be done with a 4-way wrench, or certainly, an
appropriate socket, straight/"breaker" bar, and if need be, a cheater
pipe (simply a length of pipe that will fit over the breaker bar and not
bend, ala chain-link fence top-rail of something). Then simply remove
the rest of lug nuts, the wheel and tire, and knock the stub of the lug
out from the front. If you can't knock the stub out, you can remount
the fixed tire using the remaining 4 or 5 nuts and be carefully on your
way to a larger repair facility.

Nothing unusual, other than the nut was cross threaded. They had
already tried all that you suggested and ended up getting it off with a
torch. They replaced all the bolts and I was on my way before noon
local time. Thanks for the call, BTW, the cell coverage is poor around
there and I didn't get the voicemail message until they were almost
done.
