Default Master cylinder bolt stuck and rounded.

hey there, i was hoping to get some help with an issue i'm having.
I drive a 96 Accord EX 2.2 with ABS.
I am trying to replace the brake master cylinder but ended up ruining one of the the brake line bolts (yes i was using a flare wrench & PB Blaster). I even ruined a pair of vice grips trying to get it to turn.
I don't know what to do anymore. I'm thinking i might replace that line since it only goes from the master cylinder to the ABS module.
I would want to get it used because I dont want to buy a bend kit.
Should I do that or can i just replace the bolt and keep the line?

If you can remove the ABS connection, then cut the line and replace the line w/ new or used line to new master cylinder.

You can't replace the nut unless you cut the line.

good luck
