These wheel locks are harder to "break" and more rare than OEM locks. This is how thieves "break" wheel locks:

Wish that were true in my neighborhood. Matter of fact, a couple of years ago, a couple of people tried to steal my OEM 02 TL-S wheels. The car fell off the jack and my aftermarket alarm went off and my neighbor scared them off. The only lug nut they managed to remove was the OEM wheel lock.

FWIW, they usually don't care about 17 inch OEM wheels, they want the tires.

It looks like the Gorilla locks would be easier to remove with a socket like that. The grooves are already in the lug nut. You could go on the McGard website. Looks like a M12 x 1.5 cone seat.
