brake line removal problem!!!! help please

i bought the flare 10mm wrench like the service manual said for my 96 240sx. and when i go to remove the upper flare fitting, the wrench is rounding the sides. so what am i suppost to use to remove my brake lines so i can put the new stainless steel brake lines in. this is holding back my partial brake upgrade which includes new brembo rotors, axxis ultimate pads, and goodridge brake lines... so if you can give me any guidance on how to handle this problem it would be much appreciated.

thanks
christopher
props to the 240

that sucks, i sure appreciate you letting me know that...
i've been sitting here wondering if i should just forget it and install the rotors and pads? i guess i will probably take it to a nissan mechanic and ask them or judst forget the lines. this sucks.
