depends what kind of nut it is ?
you can hammer an old socket over it so it's tight and try that.
you can also use a sharp chisel to cut a groove in the edge, then with a blunted chisel in that groove try and hammer the nut round.

I take it that they are the lock nuts that have 3 holes?

If so then a hammer and a metal punch.
