This won’t be the answer you are looking for, but when I googled how to remove a worn out locking nut, the answer was to mash a socket onto it, and it would easily come out.
So it seems to me locking nuts make it more difficult for legitimate removal, and trivial to overcome by force, so not worth the effort.
I’d be happy to be corrected with a properly secure solution!

Having worked on an autocrime team for many years (as a copper, not as a villain) I wouldn't bother. With the correct extractor any locker can be removed in barely any more time than a regular bolt.
That being the case it's little in the way of a deterrent, virtually no obstacle for the light fingered, but you can guarantee when you lose the 'key' or some twit of a tyre fitter uses a windy gun on the key and ruins it/ruins the bolt itl, cause you a headache. You'll find then that garages aren't in a hurry and aren't as well prepared as crims and will take a lot longer and charge you a lot more to remove them.
