1.) pound a smaller size socket onto it and turn it out
2.) vice grips
3.) chizzle and hammer
4.) weld a new nut onto it
EDIT:
5.) depending what the bolt/screw is dremel it off and get a new one. That's what I did for my passenger side rear knuckle bolt.
Have fun, it usually isn't... lol

they have drill bits that go in the oppostite direction as usual. they are called back outs i think? anyway you drill a hole in the bolt/screw then use the special drill bit in reverse and itll take it right out. also break free is your friend.
Thats what I was going to recommend.
