Be careful with the O.E. XF wheel nuts they consist of an outer chrome nut cover with a seal between that and the actual retaining nut.
The seal deteriorates and rusts the inner to the stud. Too much pressure will just rip the chrome covering nut off and leave you with a load of grief trying to get what's left on the stud off.
I would be tempted to leave the offending nut lubricated before trying to force it off, also get some solid wheel nuts off ebay to avoid issues with the rest further down the track.

Ooh I hope it's not on the rear wheel, I hear you can't get those out without removing the hub.

This thread on jaginfo.org is worth a look although I've not tried the hole cutter technique.
