Take it off completely and work on it with expensive tools, so as not to round anything. Get it in a vice and oil things up bit might help.

use a vice, big shifter with a pole extension and wd40.

If all else fails beat it to death.

you should be able to use a breaker bar on the top bolt... you are best using a impact socket so you are getting a better grip on the bolt, if you cant do it with the breaker bar use a piece of pipe on it and it should work.

then as said undo it in the vice...

If all else fails find someone with a oxy set and heat the nut up.
