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.

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.
