could try a pair of mole grips on 187 lockdown, if theres enough space to get on the ruined nut or you could even take the threaded bolt out with the nut attached.
or hacksaw the nut open.

Drill the head off? Then remove whats left with a pair of grips?
Turn it with a chisel you plum
if the bolt comes out far enough you could weld another bolt on to it, then remove it. not a great way but has worked for me many times
