how long has it been since they were off? try putting a very mild amount of anti sieze around the flange of the lug nut and threads next time.

Somebody got a little crazy with the impact gun? Only time I have seen this is due to somebody over tightening them.
Should only be 120-140 left. max for 1/2 -3/4 ton.

Yep tough job, esp the lug nuts that have a cap over top of them.
