I had to do that on my last used 200x. Sucks but it saved me from messing up the threads on the stud. Should break relatively easy witht he proper nutcracker.

find a socket that will barely NOT go on, then hammer it on and wrench it off.

Well if its not too rounded, and you started out with a 12 point socket. Try a 6 point socket and maybe an impact gun to take it off. Thats what I just did today.

vice grips or one of the sockets with all the pins in it , I have one i think its called a gator grip , you can get it at wal-mart for like 5 bucks
