I've been very lucky and haven't had that issue.. I have heard that though.

This is the 3rd one I've done and I've found the following helps:

Leave the car parked with the rear facing the sun for a couple hours. Then if possible use a combination wrench on the nut. Counter clockwise slow even pressure. Probably the stripping issue comes from just forcing it thus gouging the plastic where the bolt seats in the housing.

You can also soak the nut in acetone or penetrating oil I've heard that too.
