well i think u have two choices and 1 isn't jbweld

first is to try the pointy thing. get urself a center punch, get close to one of the points meaning off center so when you strike the punch it digs into the side of the nut bolt. grind your punch to a very sharp point first couple of taps should be straight in to create a little dimple hole. use light taps. now swing the punch around in your dimple and strike the punch. this might work if you take your time and get the dimple set up so you can drive against it.

the second is to go to sears. they have a set of easy outs with internal fingers [made just for this type of problem] which bite against the nut or bolt head. once it gets a grip use the proper size socket and you remove the assembly all at once.
