1992 Chevy Lumina Front Wheel Drive

I had gotten a flat tire and went to change it. I was able to remove 4 of the 5 lug nuts. The last one was completely rounded. I was told to us a chisle to remove the nut but have had a hard time doing it. The nut is completely destroyed and still have not removed it. Do you have any suggestions

May need to have it towed to a tire shop there is a tool that splits nut to remave. The chisel idea may work but don't try and chisel off. Position chisel at an angle to nut about 2 o'clock then smite it repeat, repeat if nut breakes free use vise grips to remove.
