My garage man said that the AA/RAC usually carry these kits too - so could try that option.

Those kits are a set of drills and a guide that let you drill off the heads of the bolts. The remains can then be easily removed once the whelel is off McGuard can sort you out with a kit, they did send it to me for free and I just had to send it back. I also didn’t refit any as mine are 14 years old flaky wheels.
