Default brake help.....

im replacing a brake line in my crx from the prop valve to the passenger rear brake....my question is what do i do to get the fitting holding the brake line in the prop valve out.... i believe ive tried everything possible....and the fitting is now stripped beyond belief...now i need suggestions and also possible reasons as to why it would be so stubborn...i was told to try freezing it with like nitrogen to get it to contract and then vice grip it out...but ill try that last...any suggestions are welcome....

if you're replacing the line anyway, i'd cut that line & remove the entire prop valve so it's easier to get leverage and remove that sucker.

yep nothing worked..pb blaster had no effect on any of them.... so i heated them up got whichever ones i could out left the broken one in and gonna go get a new valve tomorrow...the fittings i messed up will be removed, line cut new fitting and reflare and just move the line a little to compensate...hopefully this is the last problem i have with this car...
