Stripped wheel stud with wheel on it.

Okay...So I just bought the car about a month ago and was taking the wheels off and my passenger side front wheel had to lug nuts that were really hard to take off. I ended up breaking one off, wich I figured would happen, but the other is just free spinning and won't come off. Anbody have an idea how to get this wheel off so that I can replace these broken wheel studs? Kinda scratching my head here.

go to the hardware store and buy a metal cutting blade for a jig saw. Slide the saw between your wheel and the wheel hub so that it is pressing against the spinning stud. Now spin the stud while applying pressure to the blade. The blade will cut through the stud.
