But you'll need to grab ahold of it and then use something like vise grips on the top to get it off, then replace it all with new nut/bolt that fits since the tack welds came off..

Then get yourself a set of non 12 point wrenches for normal use.

Are you sure the bottom square nut is spinning?? It doesn't look like it's at all been spinning from the bottom pic you sent, but the bolt looks stripped...
I used the wrench and I can see the bolt spin. But it wasn't raising up any. I was working at it to try and get it undone. It is quite beat up.
