I need help fixing something How screwed am I?

This is my first time changing my tires (2016 civic) im assuming I put too much force into the wheel lock key that it kinda snapped inside of the nut? I can order a replacement key easily but what do I do about half the key being stuck inside the nut? Thanks.

Go to auto parts store they have socket that will take that off just as easy as a regular lug nut.
