Default need help asap!

Alright so I needed to replace my wheel bearings so I began with trying to loosen the axle bolts I used pb penetrator to break up the rust and I got 3 of them off the last one (rr) was giving me trouble so I got out the breaker bar. Nothing. So I got an extension on the handle and tried again I heard a click and thought I got it but instead it stripped out the hex on the bolt what can I do to get it out???

pretty much the only thing you can do is weld a nut on the bolt and impact it off. either that or remove the whole steering knuckle assembly with the cv shaft unbolted and bring it in to a shop and have them do it for you

get it nice and hot, but watch the boot on the cv shaft. im guessing you dont have air tools since you didnt just impact it out in the first place
