If the stud starts to spin you have no alternative but to use a pliers and hold the stud until you get the nut far enough off that you can put the pliers behind at the firewall.
I recommend using a needle nose pliers to hold the stud in place.

If memory serves, the stud spinning will back the stud out of the box. I think this happened with a couple of the studs on my B4 box when replacing the core.
Just back them out, and retrieve with vicegrips on the stud or a helper with pliers, once the HVAC box is out of the car.

This would be nice (to know) - but so far that was not my experience. Thanks!
