Stop baiting him racer .

It is not at all easy to change studs on the S2000. To do it properly, you will need to remove the hubs.

I would not immediately blame the studs - a siezed nut could easily be caused by lug nuts or an installation error such as over-torquing the fastener. Are the lug nuts steel, or some other metal? Were they installed by hand or perhaps with an air tool?

If the stud is indeed OK and it's the nut that's stripped, just apply some lubricating penetrating oil (Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster - not WD 40) and spin the sucker (not suxer) off. In the future, I recommend a very light coat of anti-sieze to prevent nut seizure - not a pleasant condition, right ?
