Likely you are down to grinder and cutting wheel. If you go straight down
through the top you can likely split the nut. Or you can get a pupose built
nut splitter from princess auto.

Subject: Stus-List Seized SS Nut & Bolt
I have a 'pebble in my shoe' kind of problem.....a small SS nut and bolt
on my bimini is seized....do I need to remove it , no....but it should
be able to come apart should it need to.
I have applied PB Blaster, ATF & acetone, Liquid Wench.....obviously, a
product is not the answer. I tried today (thanks to Mike Hoyt) the
'tool' that can grip a 'stripped head'.....all I was doing was stripping
it further and giving my right hand a palm blister.
I might be able to get a hack saw blade between the head of the bolt and
the SS tubing but it is going to be a challenge.
The bolt takes a 9 mm wrench, however, it is recessed so that getting a
wrench on it with any force doesn't work either. I can't turn the bolt
and I can't turn the nut. I could simply ignore the problem for now but
someday I have to get this opened so I might as well not ignore the
problem now.
Any and all suggestions are greatly welcomed.
