    Didn't use flare nut wrenches... right?

    Vice grips always worked for me... but if they were that buggered up... the brake line really needs replaced too.

    I have flare wrenches. The nut was already rounded

    If you end up replacing the brake line and installing a new nut, be sure to use a double-flaring tool to properly form the ends.
