So my th400 I got a new winters shifter and can't get the nut off the trans to get the old arm off and don't want to break the shifter shaft. What are my options

I Wish I could get an impact to it. Without dropping's it down there is no way. How much force can be used without damaging the shaft. And is it a regular thread or reverse

regular thread
I'd spray some penetrating oil (real pen oil like Kroil or Gibbs) and peck it with a hammer for a few days and it should spin right off.
If that didnt work I'd put a box end wrench on it and swiftly kick the **** out of it and hope for the best

Worst case, if you break it you'll just have to pull the pan.
I agree. It's rare to see a shift shaft nut that is seized or rusted. Mainly because there is pretty much always fluid seeping or leaking around that seal.
So a flare nut wrench, aka brake line wrench, works excellent without stripping the nut. Don't be scared. Put some booty on it. It has stops inside that are plenty strong. I bet you get it loose without harming things

I finally got it. Was able to squeeze and extender in and use a impact driver
