A stripped truss rod nut can indeed be fixed. There are special not retrieving sockets that may do the trick- they are often in the automotive section of hardware stores. Sometimes these are too bulky to fit in the nut cavity. In this case you either have to visit a luthiery supply site and purchase the specific(costly) tools. The best bet in the end will be to take this to a guitar tech.

How do you adjust an acoustic guitar truss rod?
The answer is "it depends". There are a few variables: is the action too high, too low, where is it off (saddle, nut, 12th fret). I'll give a brief explanation. THIS ADVICE HAS NO GUARANTEE - IF YOU ARE UNSURE, TAKE IT TO A LUTHIER 1) too high -NUT: you can either file the nut with nut files (expensive) or sand some of the bottom of the nut off. -NECK: adjust your truss rod -SADDLE: sand a small amount of material from the bottom of the saddle 2) too low -NUT: buy a new nut, or add krazy-glue and baking soda to fill in the grooves, refile to your liking -NECK: adjust truss rod -SADDLE: buy a new saddle or shim the saddle you have
What is a truss rod?
It's a long rod lodged up in the neck of a guitar used for keeping the neck of the guitar straight. The truss rod is used to allow the neck to bend either way in response to the tension of the strings. Without it, there would be no steel string guitars, the neck wouldn't be able to handle the tension of the strings. Many beginners think that adjusting the truss rod will lower the "action" or how high the strings are from the fret board of the guitar. This is not entirely true and it is probably more of a Nut and saddle/bridge adjustment that is needed.

How do you fix script nut on skateboard?
I'm assuming you mean a stripped nut? If so, it's best to simply replace it. They cost about 50 cents. If your axle or kingpin is stripped, you need a tool called a re-threader. Simply apply the threader on the axle and retool the metal to work for the nut. If your kingpin is stripped, I'd suggest getting a new one, or possibly getting a new baseplate/kingpin combination. Otherwise, get new trucks!
How to get a Stripped lug nut off?
you can try at your local hardware store to find a specific wrench that will fit it. on the end of the wrench it looks like little small metal rods at the end and it should fit right over the stripped nut and take it right off.
