Nope, they will be screwed up. They are designed to be the bigest pain in the *** to remove without a key. It may be inconvieniant for you but if they were ever attempted to be stolen, youd be thanking your lucky stars

I used to work in a tire shop, we ran into similar troubles once in a while (owners not having/forgetting/loosing their lugnut key). The good news is that there is a tool for removing locknuts. The bad news is it destroys the locknut in the process. Phone a couple service shops the should be able to spin those suckers off and throw a regular lugnut on for minimal $$$

go to a local Discount tire, they will be able to break them off, they will charge like $10 to do it though but they will replace the lug with a normal one. (i work at a DCT btw) or if you have an old socket laying around...get the same size socket and rotate it half way and hammer it onto the lug then get a breaker bar and break it loose that is about the exact same thing DCT will do if they wont happen to have the same key laying around.
