Default **HELP** ASAP brake line nut stripped

ok folks, happened right now and I need help.

converting my rear drum to disc, i stripped the nut that i supposed to remove from the brake hardlines to put on the rear disc brake lines. WHAT CAN I USE TO REMOVE IT?? I have extra bolts, but I'm guessing i would have to cut and reflare the lines somehow...

anyone want to give me some insight?? I'm going to sears tomorrow to pick up a flare nut wrench and robogrip pliers and hope that will do it.
