The locking wheel nuts were made by Gerade??? can't remember the correct/exact name. BUT.... I do know that you are not the first person to loose/break the locking key and be stumped what to do next.
Search in the V70 pre 2007 P2 section, as I'm sure there have been several threads about this experience. Upshot IIRC was to take a picture of the actual bolt and send it off to Gerade? in Germany??? You should be able to google them. They are (or were) a very helpful company - even sending special removal kits ( drills etc) to remove damaged/seized bolts. VERY Common occurance on pre 2007 volvo.

Cheers Bob

edit company is McGard....
