    Are you trying to remove the nut with the strut out of the car, or in the car?

    Either way, a rattle gun will solve your problem

    The whole strut is moving? Try put vise grips on them or something, when it makes contact it should either stop strut moving so you can loosen bolt or fall off, depends how tight the nut is/how tight the grips are.

    Hit it with freeze-and-release, then it it with WD40, then hit it with a butane torch, then smash it with the rattle gun again
