If the vice grip method does not work for you then center punch it, drill and easy out is another way.

[dougie30]

stop working out

Use tq wrench next time to get a feel for how tight it should be. You can most likely get it out by doing what they said above & take off the valve cover. Then use some vice grips to get the stud out

have you tried being nice?

Next time don't crank the valve cover nut on there like the Hulk. Snug with a 1/4" ratchet is all you need.
