Ah the ole' Jeep lug nut. I'm guessing this is a Grand Cherokee 1999-2004.
Exact same thing happened to me.
Bought these:

Smacked it on with a hammer and threw on the impact. Sat back and drank beer.

so it sounds as if the stud itself (the bolt) snapped, and we aren't just talking about the lug nut. There's something fishy with the story - any mechanic should be able to fix either pretty easily. Were they just sneaking you in last minute and didn't want to take the time ? Or maybe figured you wouldn't want to pay for it to be done ?
To remove a seized/stripped/rounded lug nut itself, a common technique is the one /u/lmazy pointed out; since most lug nuts are soft decorative metal on top of the harder metal that actually does the work, you can pound a smaller socket on there to act as a nut removal tool. If that doesn't (and when I dealt with this problem it didn't) you can use a proper removal (similar to these ). They use curved fins to dig into the metal, and torque backwards so that the more you twist the more they dig in. They removed a lug nut for me that was really giving me a hard time. I didn't have them on hand, but I would expect any professional shop to have similar tools on hand.
The studs themselves are typically just pressed in from the other side of the hub.
I'm not personally familiar with Hyundai or how they do it, but I can't imagine it's any more complicated that similar cars.
edit: you're ok driving without a single lug nut for a while. you should probably have the bolt in place though.
Torch and id go to home depot and buy some irwin bolt extractors https://www.amazon.com/IRWIN-BOLT-GRIP-Extractor-Expansion-394002/dp/B000QW6K8I
Can you death grip a pair of vise grips on it? If not, try these: https://www.amazon.com/Irwin-Tools-BOLT-GRIP-Extractor-394002/dp/B000QW6K8I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1536851898

I'd check the rust out to see if you are getting any rot on the towers there...
As far as getting out the nut I'd

Barring that I would try to get it off with a pipe wrench. Make sure the teeth on your wrench are sharp so it digs into the head of the drain plug. Also make sure you already have a new drain plug on hand before removing the old one.
I had an impact socket crack and I didn't notice it until I found that I rounded a few of my lugs. Not a good feeling when trying to put the lugs back on. Anyway, I thought I'd give the Irwin Bolt Grips a try. Just hold them flush to the lug, pound them on with a few good whacks, put your cheater on, let the teeth bite and you should be home free. I was really surprised at how well they worked.
There are two sets, so get the one with the size that you need.
Thank you and you’re probably right. I just ordered these so I hope they work, otherwise I may have to take it to a shop. A bike shop I presume?
> damaged bolt remover
I had heard of these things (even watched a video). Can you recommend a manufacturer/brand? i see mixed reviews for all the ones I found so far. I do see they come in two basic types. Fluted angled, or sort of snow-flakish straight sided?

Get yourself a set of these! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QW6K8I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_V5w4DbHN54DD9
I have a set and it never lets me down and definitely pays for itself. You can also try smacking the heck out of it with a hammer (without flattening it of course) or use some grease and slather it on the bolt and hit it with a torch and then try using vice grips. But best bet is that bolt extractor in my opinion. Hope this helps!
I'd use these

Sure, I have this set.

However, being that this is a smaller torx nut, you may need to find a set with smaller sized extractors. They sell all sorts of size sets on Amazon.
first what car is it and what socket size did you use, then what is it holding?
this is just to find out why the nut is so rounded....
to untie it now you need a special wrench for rounded bolts/ nuts

Seriously. Last car we bout from a dealership had one on the spare when we took the test drive. It was replaced before we signed papers without any discussion of it.
Edit: do you have some of these? http://www.amazon.com/Tools-Bolt-Grip-Expansion-5-Piece-394002/dp/B000QW6K8I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1463707470&sr=8-5&keywords=Nut+extractor
If you can get the purchase (I can't tell from the picture), I found these very good.
