I suppose you could try grinding a pair of flats on the shaft and putting an adjustable wrench on them. I assume your goal is to preserve the struts?

No they were not corrroded at all,looked barad new.I used the proper key size(Park tool)

Finally got it off by putting vice grips onto shaft then impacted it off.

I ended up removing entire metal cowling support plate.

The drivers side was stubborn but not this stubborn.

I still think the car is resting on the bumpstop on the finished drivers side,even though I cut 1.5 inches off.

The back turned out beautiful but the front is dissapointing.The drivers side is pretty much stock height.

I dont care about the struts as i am putting new ones on.
