Default Rounded Nut

I rounded off a nut holding my exhaust manifold onto my block. Is there anyway to get it off besides cutting it? I dont want to damage the stud since im not sure if it is replaceable or not.

you can try some sockets that sears carries that are made for "rounded nuts" or you can actually cut it off, the stud is replaceable

I went to Advanced Auto and got some craftsman thing. Its a socket with like blades on the inside that dig into the nut and hold it. There bad ass. When i got the nut out, the stud also came with it so i replaced it with a bolt from the exhuast manifold.

Thanks for the help guys.
