its funny you ask this, because just last night i had the same problem with one of my motor to.Take all the nuts you can off, and try to pry a flat head screw driver between the valve cover and head, be careful not to scare the head up.Pry down on the screw driver and loosen the stripped nuts.What that is doing is alowing the stripped nuts to grab some thread and come on off.I will probably work better if you have one person prying and you loosening the nut.Thats how I did it.IT shoud come right off, or you can cut the stud off alonf with the nut and go buy some new ones because you will have to do that anyways.
