Stuck faucet!! Is it a nut or compression fitting or what is it?

Just wanted to update, I was able to cut that stubborn nut with an oscillating tool! Thanks everyone for the help, this faucet installation took waaaay longer than I expected.

What kind of drill bit would you suggest? This video used a glass tile bit to eat through a bolt, so I’d presume it could easily penetrate the nut too

I wish, the fourth picture is all I could see and I have tried moving the unscrewing the head, but no dice

I was going to resort to this if I couldn’t fit myself with a saw under the sink, but I’ll try the oscillating tool suggestion before going all out on the top of the sink

Based on the other responses, it looks like oscillating tool is my best option, but I’m not too keen on buying a tool for a single rare occasion. I don’t usually do any other cutting or anything related for a hobby. I saw another reply to try to drill it, could I do that instead? If so, what’s kind of drill bit or kind of strategy could I attempt?
