Spray the socket with B12-Chemtool or something like it to clear grease
& debris. 

You'll need it clean & dry so don't leave WD-40 in the whole if that's
what you used.

Tap the driver with hammer or maul into socket.

Using a sharp snapping motion, turn the breaker bar handle in the
lefty-loosey direction.

If still stripped, tap head with metal hammer a few times to 'shock' the
bolt, then Vice Grip as previously advised.
