for the rounded bolt you can use locking pliers.
but if the nut turns freely, it will be useless, you will have to try to resize the nut in 6 sides and use the right socket to the exact size with a 6-sided socket exclusively with an impact wrench.
if you tap on the threaded rod of the transmission shaft, you must leave the nut to increase the striking surface and not damage the thread
if this is impossible, you leave the upper ball joint and you try to undo the 2 nuts at the bottom, which are at each side of the lower ball joint nut.
use only 6 sides sockets
they are clamped to 160nm
you must first remove the abs sensor completely from the hub carrier otherwise you will break the electric wire and lock the disc brake with wheel nut
then you can pull on the hub carrier and release the CV joint head (watch out for the brake hose and it is heavy)
you have to leave the driveshaft nut in the bearing, you pull on the hub carrier, this will allow you to easily unclip the shaft from the front differential, by pulling on the hub carrier.
then you remove the nut from the shaft.
to reinstall the hub carrier you will need the jack to lift the lower arm as the shock spring pushes the lower arm down
