I was installing my brakes last night when I was not able to loosen the bolt that goes from the hard line to the soft line. I managed to ‘round’ the corners and little. Is there any way of loosening the bolt in that state?

I believe Wun is referring to a flare spanner. They are made for just that sort of job.
