Default Another stripped 14mm fuel line nut

Well, it looks like I stripped the nut on the bottom of the fuel filter.
I tried PB blaster and I let it soak in all night. I even tried vise grips but it just making it worse.

As you can see from the picture that I was able to move the bolt off by two threads. Is it safe to drive it to my mechanic? Or should I just have the car towed?

Thanks

Look at it while a friend turns the key to ON(II). That'll get the fuel pump going, pressurizing the system. If you don't see any leaks, you'll be fine to drive to the mechanic.

******* hate those bolts. I agree as long as it's not leaking you are just fine to drive it.

Next time try a crows foot with a ratchet. Worked for me.
