If it's the one inside the engine compartment the car should not be on stands. As stated, you need the special tool or an impact gun. Just get it loosened a couple of turns , then put it on stands and finish the job.

If it's the nut that holds the strut insert ( the shock) onto the strut itself then you will probably need lots of heat to remove it. If you have time, soak it with penetrating oil and let it sit for an hour then apply the torch until it is quite hot, let it cool for ten minutes and spin the nut off with a pipe wrench. Repeat as required.
