You could also try heating the stud, It worked for me. I finished building an engine once and found a leftover head washer. Yet I had torqued the heads down. The nut ran far enough down thestud that the wrench would cam out when I tried to loosen it.

Heating the stud a bit elongated it, relieving the tension on the nut. I was then able to get enough of a grip on the nut to spin it off.
