The nut shouldn't be rounding off if the correct spanner's being used... first check that it is metric / imperial and which you're supposed to be using before the nut's trashed (hope this isn't a totally crass / patronising comment!)

Go find some penetrating oil. Forget about WD-40, there is one called PB Blaster penetrating oil.. Spray some of that on there and let it set a few minutes. I broke off the bolts in the block that hold on the water pump with a set of vice grips after the wrench didnt work. I sprayed that stuff on there and I could take the bolt out with just a set of pliers....May be hard to find...NAPA had it last time I checked..
Here is the manufacturers website...you can order it there if you cant find it at the Auto store
PB Blaster

The plusgs r 16mm, I'm using a 16mm socket
Don't worry Krusty any help is appreciated
I've tried WD40 but no luck, I'll look for some other penetrating oil
PB blaster ? Never heard of it Sounds good though

Make sure you're using a 6-point socket...not a just a regular 12 point deep-well

Still no joy
Might have to swallow my pride & take it to a garage
there goes the last of my wages ..That'll teach me
Thanx for all your advice
