Default Stripped Fuel Rail Nut

Okay, so this might not technically be model specific, but I need some advice.

I was trying to swap out my fuel injectors on my CIVIC today and found that the middle nut is too stripped to loosen it. The tool of choice is a quarter drive ratchet and 10mm socket. It worked like butter on the two end nuts, but I can' do work on that middle one.

SO...the question is, what is everyone's preferred method to remove stripped nuts, what could work in this case? Thanks in advance.

You can go to Sears and get their easy out socket sets. If you go there and tell them that you have a stripped nut they'll know what your talking about. Usually no more than 30 bucks and itll work for a variety of sizes.

^ Picked up my set for $10 a while back. I'm sure that Harbor Freight tools has something even cheaper.

and get some KROIL.. It can help loosen up seized bolts/nuts..

Or if you're a cheapo, buy PB Blaster.

I have never even heard of KROIL, everyone I run into uses PB Blaster haha.

I guess I will try one of those sockets then, I am just a little reluctant because I used one before and it didn't work, but it might have been a different kind of socket or something. Sounds like I am going to Sears! Thanks everyone.
