Believe it or not you can get more torque with a breaker bar than a air gun. It is more likley the key was weakened.

IF they are OEM locking lug nuts, the dealer can provide a new key. If they are aftermarket, contact the manufacturer of them.

If neithe is feasable, then the nut can be torched off, although rim damage is possible. The stud would need to be replaced in the scenario.
