They cracked and when you go to remove it it spreads apart and slips. Not cool. Is there any way you can support it to stay together. See if you can get a stud remover that pounds on with a taper to it. You can try to split it. If it's just stripped pound a bigger allen key into it.

Just go get a stripped screw remover...the threads are backwards and you can pound the bastard in until it stops and then just turn it lose!

Does the wheel lug area have room for it? If not might can buy a couple of sockets and jam them on the lug.
