Throw that wrench away. A good box wrench should be used here.
If you rounded the nut off enough and this will no long work, use
a small pair of vise grips, and then throw the nut away when you get it
off. That's only if you get it off without breaking bolt/stud first.
Heating it with a torch is the only good way of removing very rusts parts.
