I dealt with this for the better part of a day and 140 miles.
I couldn't get a 19mm from harbor freight on it, and everything else was too big. My experience involved finally hunting down a 20mm 3/4" at northern tool, buying that for 15$, paying 20$ for an adapter set, hammering that on and attaching my milwaukee impact - and just having it spin. I hammered the loving s*** out of it, it spun some more, then cut in and came out. I immediately did the same thing to the last wheel with a locking lug on it.
For my experience (and maybe I was doing it wrong), none of the Pittsburgh impact sockets would drive on (20mm is not a standard size), in six or 12 point. This was the only thing that worked Klutch Jumbo Impact Socket Metric, 3/4in.-Drive | Northern Tool + Equipment

Lowe's (and I'm sure Home Depot) sell individual sockets in the drawers near the tools. I think I paid like $3 each for 3/4" sockets, bought a few and beat the locks off my LX. After screwing with the key for hours and trying to hammer off the 3/4" from my kit, I was glad to spend $10 on sockets to be thrown away!
