have you tried the 2 nut method? No pun intended. Put one nut on and then another ontop of it. Tighten the hell out of them together and it will lock onto the stud then take it off. If its welded on hope you got arnold arms!

opps i didnt see the stripped part. There is a tool for stripped studs. It will make life easier. It goes around the bottom of the studd and locks onto it when lefty for loosy. Im sure you can find it. Also penetrating lube works well in combination
