having an absolute mare!

Hi guys 

 

As the title suggests, I've been having an absolute mare trying to get one of the subframe nuts off. I took the one off and changed the crossmember stay without issue, but the opposite side has been nothing but trouble. I started by tightening it by accident and then i rounded the nut off :rant:. I've tried whacking an 18mm and a 17mm socket onto it without much luck as they dont get the purchase and end up rounding it off more. I've tried cutting it, but im scared of destroying the thread so I wanted others opinions before I go through with completing the cut. I'll post a pic below of the nut in question. I've bought locking wheel nut removers too but they aren't deep enough to grip the nut with the breaker bar attached as the stud touches the bar, so i was thinking of cutting the bit of metal beneath the thread to give it some more clearance.
