I'm replacing the faucet on our shower/tub. The nipple is NOT budging.
I used WD-40 and kind of stripped the threads in trying to get the
nipple off. ANy suggestions? I don't want to use too much strength
since the shower head is wiggling as I try to turn the nipple.

When you do get it taken apart apply Teflon tape to it. It is good
practice to take apart all new plumbing and/or fixtures and use tape
before re-assembly. Ten years down the road you'll understand why.

Thanks, that is something I always do.
