If you can get some heat on it that should help. You'll need an
oxy-acetylene torch though, as propane just isn't hot enough.
Otherwise the suggestion that someone else made about grinding down a
wrench should work, and some penetrating oil would probably be a good
idea too.
Failing all that, a die grinder (either air or electric powered) with a
cutoff disc might work to cut the nut off.
