Is it a locking lug that was stripped or is the carrier bolt in the hub damaged also. Could be minimum shop charge or well over an hour. Some hubs require a puller if you can't get the bolt in without removal.

So ask questions if it seems pricey.

Good luck with the car!

Oh... that's you.... that idea might not work out so good.
Let me see if I can come up with an alternate idea.

Lug nuts are cheap. I bought bridgestone tires from a local tire shop and the mechanic broke two lug nuts while installing my wheels. So I went to Costco to get replacement ones. I paid $20 for a set of 20.
