You could use a flat bar and drill a hole through it - weld in a Phillips head tool bit --- easier to hold

I have had this Happen before. I Used a Large Adjustable Wrench Upright, large Pipe or Screwdriver on Handle Hole.
I also spray WD 40 & let penetrate threads.  Don’t know How this happens? Could be Temperature when You tighten it  ?
