Ahh, it certainly does look like you have less clearance than I did.
EDIT: Is it possible for your to access the fasteners on the steering shaft coupler from under the car? Or does the cat keep you from accessing? If you can get to them, you could remove that coupler to allow the shaft to move out of your way. Just make sure you set your wheels straight first and DO NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL while the shaft is decoupled.

And here is the style of bolt extractor we used (Irwin branded):
I hope this is of some help! I have no idea why Nissan didn't anti-seize that nut.
