For the love of god don't use vice grips you'll only fuck it up more. Get yourself a small pipe wrench. They grip and provide rotational bite, vise grips are the worst tool know to mechanic monkeys they provide clamping force which doesn't help the nut any at all and will only lead to stripping it more.
One of these little mamajammas has damn near completely replaced all my visegrips.

You may need a cheater bar, I've used a 2' one on mine for something similar before.
If that nut is larger than 3/4 in (19mm) you may consider the next step up also. (8")
Just get a mini pipe wrench.
