If it were me I would just cut them all off and replace the lugs and the nuts. Cheap fix. Last thing you want to happen is to find out you overstressed a lug by heating it and have it give out on you. I have had them like this before and I just cut the old one off and replaced the lug and nut with new one's. You can probably you can get new lugs and nuts for 3-4 bucks a piece if I remeber. I keep about 6 on hand for just this purpose.

Nuts lost shape. Not the stud, is how I understood it, assuming from the title he has studs.
I agree, cut off both the nut AND stud and replace them all if you heat them up.
