use a pickle fork to keep pressure on it. Or just cut the part of the bolt with the nut on it off with an angle grinder.

since you usually get a new nut with the ball joint, i use a air hammer with a good cutting bit and split the nut in half (castle nuts are easy to break). i use that method on dakota ball joint recalls all the time, it works great
