Default Rear Mount Bolt Problem

So i fugged up and stripped the bolt nut. I've tried everything to get this thing off. Ive even tried using the dremel tool but not having any luck. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get this off? Any help would be appreciated greatly! added pictures of the bolt nut.

First of all , use quality tools. Second , first time you break those free you 6 point socket is a must. Last , i would throw a nut removing socket on it http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...u=00952166000P and hope you didn't screw up the threads.

^ I made the same exact mistake and used the same exact socket extractor set. Those extractors are awesome.

You can also get a socket that's slightly too small and hammer it on and then take it off that way. You may not be able to get the nut out of the socket afterward though. Not the best way but if you don't want to buy tools you can try that.

Spray some PB Blaster on it to help loosen any rust. Whatever the case be careful not to break the bolt. (Yes it is possible). A guy broke his. They are welded in, and cost bucks to have one replaced
