I'm still curious as to what ideas people have that can help fix this. I've talked to some other friends and they've mentioned drilling into the lug nut, and using a chisel to beat into the lug nut. Both are methods that will supposedly loosen the lug nut off the stud and help make it easier to remove.
Yea that spinning section seizes overuse and becomes a single unit lug nut. It's not a flaw, it's just an inherent nature of lifestyle vs. actual performance use.
