How do I get this loosened

The torx bolt on the strut top, the only t45 I had (snap on) started stripping the inside. Now apart from putting heat on it but will burn the rubber, I'm buggered as to what now.

I've got a Dremmel and can grind a groove but there's no way I have to strength or the good screwdriver bit on a socket to then hold it while the 21mm spanner turns the nut.

I have messed up too many shocks trying to do these by the book, I even have a proper open sided socket, I now always always impact these off.

The "torx" is actually a Hex, it is the top of the shock rod - you need to stop that turning - as per Sausage reply

if the shock is good, another option is to Dremmel the nut till it splits
