searched on the forum and couldn't find any tips & tricks for removing the 30mm nut that holds the driveshafts on the rear hubs. I've been using some Liquid Wrench and PB Blaster with no luck. Thought about using a MAPP torch to heat the nut but but I am worried about catching grease on fire or frying the bearings.

Anyone have suggestions?

I'm a little worried about mushrooming the end of the bolt so any tips before I proceed?

have you done the inboard first? make sure you've got the inners out first.

before smacking the stub axle shaft (which it should not require, but some do get stuck...) make sure you put the nut back on - castle inboard - and strike on the nut, flush with the end of the shaft. NOT the end of the shaft alone.
