Scrap the lug nut and get either some strong vice grips on it or try a healthy sized bolt extractor. I wouldn't ever try to use the rim to snap a stud off unless the wheel was scrap.

Get out a drill and a big bit and start drilling carefully so you don't damage the rim. You'll have to replace the wheel stud and nut but those are cheap in comparison to breaking something else in the process of trying to remove it.
