How to screw in a threaded rod?

Does anyone have a trick on how to screw a threaded rod in/out of wood? I actually managed to screw it in, but now I need to screw it out, and it is far more challenging. There is nothing to grip it with without damaging the thread. The rod is 2 feet long, and it is about 1 inch in the wood.
