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.

Use a twist socket, hammer that socket on like no tommorow, take a rachet and twist it off
