Here's how you can remove it easily if it isn't corroded onto the spoke.

Mount the wheel in the bike and tighten the QR. You'll need a pair of long nose pliers that can grip the nipple down in the well of the rim. Push the rim over at the brake (grab rim and stay or fork blade in one hand and squeeze) toward the damaged spoke or nipple, slightly - just enough to slacken the one spoke. Unscrew the nipple, and replace to roughly the same depth. let go and true.
