You have a couple of options

Hammer a socket of a close size over it.
Or Hammer and chissel.

Hammering sockets has always worked for me at work when customers loose locknuts

If you have enough room, tack weld a bolt to the end of them and use a spanner as normal

cheapest is 2 or 4 21 mm sockets, hammer them on lightly and then undo... easier than hammer and chisel. if your lucky you can get away with hammering the socket off and using on another locknut till it gets stuck on there. i bought 4 and used 2.

Use an angle grinder to grind a couple of flats on the nut & use a open-ended spanner.

Do the other nuts up as tight as possible, then do the socket or chisel trick.
