Default Strut bar installation gone awry

Well, I got my neuspeed strut bar in the mail the other day and went to install it and I struggled to break loose one of the nuts on top of the struts. I used a 12mm socket as recommended and I wound up rounding off the edges of the bolt. I then switched to using a vise grip but it only rounded the edges even more. Now I'm thinking I'm screwed because I can't get this nut off now. I was thinking of using my dremel tool but I was afraid I would cut too deep and screw up the threads on the bolt or even accidently cut it off. Anyone have any ideas or tricks of the trade on how to remove this nut safely and without damaging the bolt?
