I've had that happen before and have found that the easiest way is to Dremel the nut off and replace it with a new one.

I grind through the nut at the center of one of the flat sides, not all the way through, just to the edge of the threads. Then I use a flat blade screwdriver to twist the nut open. Then it can be removed with no damage to the pot threads or the face plate.

Good luck!
