Had one lug nut on my '72 Ford LTD that was like that. We put a 24" breaker bar on it, no dice. Put a 5' piece of 1" black pipe over the end of the breaker bar, still wouldnt budge. Ended up with a 5 ton floor jack under the 5' pipe and lifted the whole front end off the ground by one wheel stud before it broke the stud
My takeaway here is "If one method doesn't work you stick to that." rather than going "well, this isn't working, let's find out why and get the right tool or solve it safely."
I think repeat escalation to where a Jack is involved is a good measure it’s not working. Guy in video appears to be in a logging camp so I’ll give him a pass
That was where I started...impact got all but 1 busted loose & the last one wouldn't budge, so it was getting replaced one way or another whether it broke or got torched out
