Nova Tactical front sight is loose and nut won’t tighten

The front sight on my Nova is very loose such that it slides left to right even with small motions of the gun. I see there is a little nut underneath that fits a 5.5mm wrench. However, when I turn it, it doesn’t move up or down on the little bolt it is on. I cannot tighten the nut or loosen/remove it. I have tried using some pliers to hold the bolt still as I turn the nut, but the nut just spins in-place without tightening or loosening.

Does anyone have some advice on getting the nut off? I could just superglue the sight in the correct position, but that is a nuclear option that I’d rather not take.

I’ve only shot about 200 shells through the gun (it is a few months old).
