You can use a vise grip on it, it has to come off somehow. If you do ruin it, bend it straight and go to an auto parts store and get a section that is close in size that is premade.

Sears sells individual flare nut wrenches for like 10 bucks or less. Find a 10mm one. Unless your using a Matco Opti-Torque or Snap-Off Flank-Drive wrench, there aren't many others that can get them off like a flare nut wrench can.
