I swear I've seen these sold at Autobarn under the brand SAAS in a plastic packet with the key included, they aren't a unique key so it should work fine.

I think supercheap sells them too.

Failing that you have a few options.

1. Take it to a tyre shop
2. Use a vice grip if it fits
3. My personal favourite - find a slightly smaller socket and smash it into the locknut and proceed as per normal.

Hey mate, found an old set of these same nuts in my garage with the key if you want to borrow it.

Smaller socket over the lock nut is also my personal favourite, don't know how many sockets I have with nuts stuck in them waiting to be removed lol.
