Default Getting a stripped nut off

I don't know how it happened but wheel nut got stripped totally some how and now it seems impossible to get it off.

Any suggestions?

get some *really* big pliers with plenty of leverage and lock ontothe nut and pull while inscrewing it. this worked for me anyway
Good luck

Dremel a line across and use a flathead screwdriver or if that doesnt work use jb weld or a 2 part epoxy to build it up.

if you want to do it the easy but not cost effective way use a hammer!
