i would try to shave down two opposite sides so i could get a good grip with a pair of pliers or adjustable wrench..

good luck, i hope you get it off.

Don't forget to hose it down with your favorite penitrating oil and let it sit before attempting to twist it off.

needle-nose vice grips work great in those kinds of situations!
