Disco2 drag link bar, can't get this ball joint torqued. Any help?

I thought it was just spinning so I got a torx bit on the wrench with a spanner on the nut, but it broke before I got it up to spec and now half the bit is stuck in there.

I've seen online people getting a pry bar up against it but I don't see a good angle to do that.

Any tips or tricks?

UPDATE: Turns out the ball joint bolt AND nut are both stripped. Fantastic. Must have over-torqued it with the impact. Mistakes were made. Gonna get a new ball joint and nylock nut now

New here, just bought a Disco2, wondering how best to clean these spare tyres?

The car currently has full off-road tyres on it, but the previous owner has given me these old (but still good?) set of all-terrains. I'm planning on getting these fitted to a new set of wheels I've just got, but wanna clean em up first. Would just water be ok? Any risk in letting them dry in this UK heatwave?
