A slightly different approach to solving loose fitting lugs came from the big rig diesel mechanic I have been working with. He said he has fixed the problem on a bunch of them by shimming the serration with a strip of aluminum Coke can cut and wrapped around that end and driven back in. Swears it works just fine.
Sounds a little wacky to me but stranger things have worked.
BTW...this cure was only to prevent the stud from spinning when removing the nuts. Once the lug and nut are torqued down nothing moves anyway.
