You're supposed to use a 12pt 12mm socket on a 10mm nut...

I don't see how in the hell you could strip that nut putting it on. are you sure the stud wasn't going through the top of the nut pushing the socket off the top. I bet thats what it is because ti would seem like its stripped. Use a deep well, you might have to force it on, if its just the top of the nut fucled up.

yeah uhh 13mm?

I was thinking about that to, but none of the other nuts felt like that, its raining here now so i gotta wait till tomorrow or sunday....

And about socket length, I counter sink the head studs to the point that there is very little sticking out of the tightened nut. I simply use a drill and drill out the block threads to make the stud sit further down into the block. This reduces deck distortion by making the deck thicker against the clamping forces.

id find somthing that fits around it tighter and hammer that socket right on the nut... that or use some kind of bolt-out...

those things are really handy, i dunno how many times i've used them. you can get them at sears

In the worst case you could be able to sacrifice the stud and drill it out. They already have a hole in the middle to start from but the steel is pretty tough on the drills I bet.
