Ideally, youare going to need to replace the line(s). Have you got to the point of rounding off the fittings, and are you using flare nut wrenches? If the fittings are not rounded, and you are not using flare nut type wrenches,you will be able to apply more force to more surface area of the fittings with their use. You may get them loose.
