Check the center to see if there is dirt caked into a hex head or a start bit type socket making it look like a flat surface......
OR Get a dremel and flatten two of the sides back out to get a wrench on it...
OR Get a BIG ASSED pair of vice grips and clamp down on that buggar as hard as you can...
