yeah. I had those on my car. while trying to remove a couple of them, I stripped a couple. what a pain to get off! if you just need them off, go out and buy 4 19mm 12-point deep sockets. not your nice sockets you already have, go out and buy cheap ones! what you'll need to do is, using a dremel or a hammer and chisel (a combination of the two works well) cut/chip a corner of the wheel lock off, now take one of the sockets and take a hammer and wack it onto the wheel lock until it's on there pretty far, it doesn't really want to go on unless you have a piece chipped off.. now you can take a ratchet, stick it in the socket, and it should be able to turn the lock off.

dremel blades - $5
cheap sockets - $28 ($7ish each)
4 new lug nuts from toyota - $25 (universal ones didn't fit for me)

probably cheaper to just get a new key.
