Like ChicagoBill, I had tried WD-40, then PB Blaster, then Stevem mentioned vinegar so gave that a chance, even sprayed the shaft with freeze spray ( CO2 ) while insulating the nut...sort of the reverse of heating the nut... all to no avail. In the end, cutting part way through the nut with the dremel tool with a cut off disc then splitting it with a small bladed screwdriver proved to be the fastest way. I wish I had remembered to take pictures because it looked as if the nut had actually started to bond with the shaft much in the same way bone grafts to platinum in knee replacement surgery.
