locking lug bolts- how to get them off without proper socket ?

When I purchased my 02 S it did not come with the locking lug nut socket. I have searched everywhere in the car and can't find it. So I'm riding on borrowed time for a flat or needing to remove a wheel. Any way to get these off ? I have already purchased replacement OEM lug bolts ( non-locking ) so I'm not concerned about saving the lockers. But obviously don't want to damage the wheels. I have a impact wrench but I'm wondering what type of socket would you use ? Do tire dealers/shops have a way to get them off ? Or should I go to a Porsche dealership ?
