if you feel brave use a grinder or a file to flatin the sides on it so you can put a wrench over it

If vise grips won't work you may try to use a small pipe wrench with some sort of cheater bar that should work. You may have to apply a little heat to it also.

Find an old socket that is just a little to small and beat it on there with a hammer, it'll break loose but your socket is probably F.U.B.A.R that is why you need to find an old one.
