Yeah, use a flarenut wrench (line wrench) and NOT an open end wrench... your gunna have an even ****tier time if you strip one of these things out. Try a bit of penetrating oil first (make sure u bleed that leg of the system VERY well) but if it still doesnt help, move onto the "smoke wrench"

well sounds like you already rounded it off, try a small 6" pipe wrench it will grip

Use a pair of vice grips, all I use for brake lines. Just don't set them too tight to crush it. DO NOT use heat.
