mickmate, thank you for offering your help, but I need lugs with 1/2" UNF threads (Ford wheel studs). I'll order 5 new lugs to replace the ones that got damaged.
I just tested the fit of the 12mm allen wrench with one of the good lugs, seems like 12mm is the right size:

That's how the good ones look:
What kind of tool could be the right one?
I also wonder why it's only possible to torque them without damage when anti seize is used on the threads. According to the installation instructions you should use Loctite for safety. There must be a way to torque them to 80 ft lbs with Loctite on the threads because that's the manufactorer's instructions. They wouldn't sell it if it wasn't tested before...or would they?
