perhaps. the tire place only had thicker, impact wrench sockets.
i tried today to use the thin wall socket trick. no luck. just wasn't enough clearance between the lock and the wheel to make it work.
i suppose i could try more sockets until i find some 'thinner' thin wall.
but my conclusion at this point is to find the key or buy one of the several removal kits until i find one that works.
if i go that route, i'll put the info up so everyone can benefit.
