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.

Heat. If you can safely put a torch to the joint, that will usually break
it free.

A friend thinks it may be sodered on the back of the niple to the pipe.
I'm going to try another tool to remove it. Hopefully, that will
work. Thanks for advice!
