Stud stuck on my lug nut!

Hey guys need some help here. I have a stud conversion kit from Macht schnell on my f80. I wanted to do a deep clean of my rims. When I was removing the lug nut it’s took the studs off. Now the nut is stuck on the stud. Is there a way to remove it? Also can the stud be used again or I have to get new ones. If so any suggestions? Thanks!

To be clear, you have a loose stud in your hand, but the nut is somehow stuck on it? I'd hit it with some PB Blaster, let it sit, then put stud in a vice grip of some kind (or use pliers) to hold it, then if you have impact try buzzing it off. Also heat may be your friend here (small propane torch or even butane lighter directed more at the nut and not the stud if possible) in addition to PB blaster

Put it in a vice but wrap the threads to protect them and twist the lug nut off. Can also try penetrating oil.

Put a second nut on the stud and preload them together. This creates a jam nut. Torque a shallow bit in the hub end and torque it. Spray PB Blaster and let it sit for awhile. Then use two wrenches and turn them left loosely.
