Default Lower shock nut stripped

I was replacing my shocks and noticed one of my rear lower shock nuts is stripped. When trying to remove it just spins. Any suggestions on how to remove? I tried using the socket and pulling back on it to create a little tension as I turned but no go.

Use a screwdriver to pry under it as you loosen the nut.
