Unhappy Strut insert help

I've been working away trying to put on new bushing and Koni sport adjustable shocks and inserts. The only simple part was the read swaybar removal. I guess being 25 years young my car has arthritis of the nuts and bolts...

Anyway I was able to get one of the strut cartridge nuts off, but the other one just won't go. I've tried heat, Liquid wrench, hammer and punch, channel locks, and I've got some banged up knuckles to prove it; it just won't budge.

Is there any other trick I've missed? I am doing them on the car as I don't want to take everything apart. This is not only preventing me from driving, but I know I'll miss the next autocross, and it's holding up other projects of mine.

Thanks in advance....
