Front disc spindle cock up

Hello. Rushing to put my new disc spindle on, I omitted to put the 2 nut spacers on. Subsequently, I've overdone the dome nut, actually going through the dome! Now I can't get the bloody nut off. The spindle turns as I try and I can't get the wheel out. Any tips?? I'm going to try and hold the other end trying not to mess the thread up. Should I try a little heat on the nut? Or do you think I'll have to cut the bugger off?? Cheesed off at my stupidity. Won't rush things again!!

Hold the other end with mole grips but with some copper or aluminium in the jaws.

You could put 2 nuts on the good end and tighten them together so they lock. If the nuts you have are too wide to fit onto the thread , file them down. I used this method to extract a casing stud
