Default stripped nut

well the guy who owned the car before me had stripped all the nuts on the shocks in the rear..sinces the car is an integra, the top of the shock sits in side of the paneling and is not much room to work with, i dont want to cut it off (scared of cutting off the shock bolt)..what would you do to take it off?

yes those work really good. just a tip though, it will look like the stripped nut remover socket wont go around your nut all the way and seem to do nothing but strip the nut more. but really, it cant grip because the nut is not stripped enough.

i had 2 header nuts that i stripped when installing my new header and i thought the stripped nut remover was a waste cuz it wasnt doing anything, until we kept stripping it more and until it finally got a bite to cut in the nut.
