Default Simple problem: Need tip on tail light removal

Tail light removal is suppose to be easy. But the nuts holding these pieces in are small and soft (<---no jokes). SO when I use my wrench or plyers, they keep stripping.

For those of you who got those altezzas, how'd you get it off? what socket size did you use?

And for all you altezza light haters, don't worry.. I've not gone to that side, or ever will.

So if you could, ... What socket size do I use? Or what other way is there to get these off?

Thanks
