those nuts are rounded by the use of too large a spanner and are now useless and to be replaced

actually the one on the left looks like it's been ruined by not having the spanner all the way on

above but also:
not greasing every fastener.
you need to replace them, and you should clean and grease the threads on the axle when you do so.

to remove the correct tool is pic related, locking pliers. You can also probably do it with waterpump pliers. And spraying them with wd40 or similiar will make it easier.

Socket wrench or spanner? Which should I get?

For axle bolts? Definitely spanners. Even an adjustable is fine for that.
Generally, If you can only have 1, a decent metric spanner set is better because they sit on the bolt head and force is transmitted straight, whereas a socket wrench is infront of it, and is more prone to cam out and damage a bolt.

also on a bicycle most correctly cleaned/greased fasteners should thread in by hand until the very end when you tighten them.

A 1/4 and 3/8 socket set is very useful to have as well though.

any jeans, jeans that aren't loose won't chafe but you will still destroy the crotch very quickly.

if this doesn't work a good trick that can be handy is stuff like imperial half inch socket (12.6mm) hammered onto a 13mm but you have to get lucky on the size of whatever has stripped

use a proper tool like a 15mm ring wrench not an adjustable wrench and don't overtorque
you can also get stainless steel or titanium nuts and clean and grease the threads to avoid galling and corrosion

ring spanners have a comfier fit they don't press directly on the corners of the nut like most sockets do

true, but you still need a socket for square taper cranks
