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

                  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

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