Ball peen. 

Hammer the end of the threaded stub into a rivet retaining the nut, bike 
rack, locks and bike. Three accurate strikes of a fair sized one should do.

Caulk and similar goop is easily removed, oftentimes by merely backing the 
nut out. What is needed are tamper-resistant nuts/bolts. Or weld the darn 
things onto the rack; it's not as if these racks get moved often.

I used to see this in the Bay Area sometimes,  store owners/ public works would 
put some type of heavy glue/ caulk/ rubber cement on the top of threads on top 
of the nut to keep it in a fixed place and it seemed to be a pretty good 
deterrent.
