As was also suggested breaking/cutting the nut might be the way to go. You can also try heat to get the nut to expand to help when you are trying to break it free. Penetrating lubricant and heat can work wonders but i gotta tell you it looks like a rat was chewing on your nut and axle. I would try penetrating lube and heat on the nut and a wedge on the other side and if that doesn't work you can cut a line into the nut across the threads perpendicular and use a chisel to break the nut all the way through to relieve tension. Obviously try to localize the damage to easily replaced parts but if it's already smoked just do whatever you can because regardless it's going to need to be replaced. Do you have map gas/torch?
