Rear Shock, Upper Mount

I have a 99 Ranger 4.0L 4x4 Extended Cab, with 120K miles or so on it...

Anyone know how to remove the nut from the upper shock mount, when the threads are stripped.

The nut just spins, it will not loosen or tighten up. I do not know if the nut is stripped, or if the threads are stripped form the stud on the upper shock mount...

I got the other one off, but I am stuck on this one.

Here are a couple of pics...

I knew I gave myself the kiss of death, when my wife asked me how long I was going to be, and I told her about 15 minutes....
