FSBar Install Problem, nut stripped!

I finally found time to install my Cusco front/rear sway bars. The rears were cake to install. However, I had a problem with the front one. I got everything off but one nut. As I was trying to loosen it, I ended up stripping it a little. I tried again, but stripped it a little more. So then I just stopped and went to AutoZone to see if I could find a fix to the problem. Their techniques with the vice grip did little to nothing.

I did WD40 the hell out of it and it wouldn't budge.

So, the question is now, how can I get that stupid nut off with out stripping it even more? Or better yet, how can I just get that stupid nut off period. I don't mind replacing it since I already have a bunch of extra ones. Please Help!


Here's a picture to the nut:

And for those who want to see the RSB and Endlinks...
