I use a heat gun when I get in trouble like that. I would try and get that nice and hot, without damaging your powder coat and see if you can get it to move. Kind of small, not sure if you can get any vice grips on that, but I have used those also. Hopefully it doesn't snap off.

Looking at the pics I think you’re going to have to weld a nut on it. Good luck.
