Unfortunately, not much can be done to save the strut. I would recommending utilizing an impact gun to release the nut and reinstall upon reassembly. Try your best to prevent the piston from rotating.

If you do not have an impact gun, which run about $200-400, I would just buy a new strut. On the other hand, impact guns are extremely useful so it may be a worthwhile investment.
