is it just a nut or a bolt,i think its just a stud welded to the torque converter. if so use what most people call a nut buster,or cutter. its a tool that slips over the nut
like a wrench and as you turn the opposite end of it with wrench or socket, it drives
a blade into the nut. keep turning it till cuts all the way through the nut dont go too far and damage the threads.that is if you mean that the hex head of the nut is rounded

this was a life saver a few times for me, after blowing or seizing a motor and not being able to turn the crank at all when the motor was froze id cut the last remaining nut with the cutter and free the converter i had used a torch and heated the nut red hot and removed the last nut before i started splittin um...lol

I had to lock a pair of Vice-Grips on mine becuase they were rounded by the previous owner.
