I have no idea how anyone can "destroy" a set of lug nuts on a 2-3 year old pickup truck......that is quite an accomplishment!
Ebay has new take off lug nuts listed all the time.

It's quite easy actually. Ford's lug nuts are two-piece garbage. The lug nut has a "cap" that swells. This causes problems when trying to use a socket. Too big a socket rounds the nut, too small a socket needs to be hammered on the lug nut. Both of these procedures destroy lug nuts.

This is a very common issue with F150s. The Gorilla lug nuts in my link above a one-piece and solve the problem.
