You shouldn't. It's REALLY hard to strip them, the backside nut that is. It's a pretty large, and coarse thread for the loads that it sees. You're more likely to strip the Allen bolt on the front, and those you just throw away, the backside will usually still be good as new.
IF you need to hammer the back nut out, then thread the front side in all the way, back it out a quarter turn, then hammer it. Proceed to back out and hammer in quarter turn increments until the nut can be pried/pulled/hammered out.
