it won't spin relative to the tread or won't spin at all? if the
former, compress the ball joint so the taper holds - then the nut will
come off just fine.

if it won't come off, you'll have to cut it anyway and replace. use
more force to make sure. maybe a little heat first. make sure you're
using a good quality 6-sided flank-drive 1/2" socket - cheap tools can
break and give you dental problems [as i found from experience].
