Default Getting rusty nipple off.

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 the muther-****er, put propane torch on it, till she turns cherry
red
then sock a small pipe or fitted wrench on it while it's still glowing

better! rip the ******* out and turn it all in as brass scrap
