Hi David,
If it hasn't been mentioned for max torque with less chance of stripping
make sure you go with a 12 point closed wrench instead of 6. Ratcheting
closed wrenches are a pleasure to work with but for high torque the ratchet
can possibly get damaged.. I'd go with a plain ol' forged one piece
wrench.
Depending on the angle, an offset wrench might help as well:

mentionned before the tighter the fit , the straighter the wrench, the less
chance of stripping the bolt.
Also, you might want to see if you can slip a piece of metal pipe of the
the other end of the wrench (A "Cheater" pipe) to lengthen the lever /
increase mechanical advantage, sometimes that makes an "Impossible" job
easy.
Finally, don't forget to coat the stud with anti seize compound when you
re-assemble to make the job easier next time.
Best of luck
