Not if its an L322 you have? The lockers are made to spin in the middle if you attempt to remove them without the correct key! ie that tool!

Go to a JLR garage (main dealer) with your broken key and buy a new one! (they only do around 10-12 different keys) A PITA i know but its the easiest was sir

The key is fine it’s the bolt on the wheel that’s broken

Oh! The only way now is to have them drilled out by a specialist!!!

You could try going at it with a hammer and cold chisel to see if you can get it to turn....

Then replace your locking wheel nuts with standard ones  .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember

This outfit removed one for me without any difficulty. Cost me £20 as I called in to their premises.

Might be worth seeing if there is anyone local or mobile near you who offers the same service. Current: FF Westminster money pit

RRS 3.6 TDV8
FL2 TD4

only way I was able to take my off was with grinder and cut off wheel + dremel tool with cut off wheel and than hummer this in the nut,

And this is why I removed and replaced my locking wheel nuts with standard wheel bolts.

This is why locking wheel nuts should be fitted with greased threads and never over-tightened. If there is the slightest doubt about there condition they should either be replaced by new or replaced by plain nuts. Assuming you can get them off at all.
Some designs are far better than others.

Ditched mine an hour after purchase and got 5 normal ones on each corner  Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Ditto for locking nuts off
My thinking is if they can jack the dam thing up and lift them wheels off they can have them
