damn cuz calm down... he tried to help. try to grab the stud if any is showing and turn with pliers or somthing.. and hopefully the whole thing will turn.. or you can try to grab the nut or maybe put a smaller mm socket on there.

Ok, im trying to make this clear, ok you stripped the nut itself? from using improper socket size or wrench size right.? If so, the only next way is to use a Vise Grip like others have stated. It works wonders for me. But if its rusted too, heating it up will help also. WD40 helps kill the rust too.

If nothing works, use dremel to cut the nut in half without cutting the stud itself too, to preserve the stud for next useage.
