Bigger wrench or put a pipe on a ratchet to make it longer, thus more leverage.

Just match them up at the hardware store.
Buy the strongest ones they have in stainless,and replace them all
Put a little anti sieze on threads.(used for lug nuts,spark plugs ect)

I agree, anti-seize is good for these bolts, but beware, NEVER use them on lug nuts. Lug nuts are designed to torque to a specific spec DRY. Adding any type of anti-seize to a bolt/stud will cause incorrect torque.

What is the torque spec for the lugs??

And I'll even through in the GM fastener notice:
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
