Impact gun.

If you don't need these again, cut it off or vise grips on the rod.

how brave are ya? whenever this happens to me. If these are lowered springs I usually leave the spring UNCOMPRESSED set the strut on the ground, put a barrell in front of it (to catch the nut) and zip that baby off with a impact gun. safety glasses highly recommended.
