i have some of these at home

not sure if theyd work on normal nuts/how rounded yours are.
after using a socket if thats not working only thing i can really think of is welding another wheel bolt head onto the rounded one, however ive seen some nasty damage done on peoples alloys when theyve tried that.
could also try knocking a notch into it to make it like a slotted head screw, but that would be a last resort as if it didnt work then the head of the bolt would be buggard and proberbly weak.
or drill a 5 or 6 mm hole in the centre, put in a large torx bit and hammer it in, worked when one of my wheel nuts was so buggard we had to snap it off and were only left with the threaded part inside the hub.

it worked for me and a mate, however that was on locking wheel nuts, not sure how good it would be on a normal nut/ if it would be small enough for a normal nut.

Ohh they look sweet!
Those stud extractors you first linked up mate, drill a small hole into the wheel bolt then screw that in! Good luck...Put up a photo of your efforts after!

these are ok depending on how tight the bolt is and the hardness of the bolt itself ive broken these extractors before trying to remove bolts.if you get these drill pilot hole deep!
