Vicegrips and lots of heat...

Heat that sucker redhot with a torch and slowly try to work it out with the vice grips.

Did you strip the nut or the stud?! I'm confused now lol.

I wouldn't suggest using the air ratchet if it's already stripped... you may just make it worse.

They make a metal piece to back out screws I'm not sure what it's called but they should sell them at any home depot or lowes. All you have to do is get a metal bit and drill a hole in the middle of the bolt and then put this metal piece in your drill and screw it into the hole you just drilled, it's reverse threaded so as you screw it in and it tightens it also losens the oringinal bolt. Cheap and easy fix.

Tap and die set. They work pretty good. Good luck.
