Not a fan of HF torque wrenches but me thinks this is not issue w/ wrench(es).

So, are they lugs on studs or wheel bolts?

If wheel bolts, try over-tightening the other 4 to relieve pressure on this one and try backing out then.

If lugs on studs try loosening other 4 and try prying out on wheel to create pressure bringing spinning stud into hub further to hopefully keep from spinning so lug nut spins off.

If track studs, either just grab onto stud w/ vice grips and spin out or weld a nut onto nose and break loose.

Finally, you can use a cold chisel to split head of wheel bolt (or lug). Then after removing the other 4 and wheel, extract remaining stud from hub w/ a pair of vice grips. (or hub and then stud from back if somehow using that style set up...).

Good luck
