This is outside the scope of the question, but I recommend removing all stock hardline and flexline, including damper box. Install a braided line from the master straight to the slave and bypass the damper completely

Yea I wanted to do this. This was actually my first time replacing anything related to the clutch so I read the hell out of everything I could find. I ended up removing the dampener, replacing the master and slave, and bleeding the system. This was a first for all of those. Now that I know what I'm doing (for the most part) I can go back in and replace the stock line with the braided one. The reason I didn't replace it today was because my master blew last night while I was at work and I had to take the day off to fix it. This car is a my DD and my only one.
Regardless, thanks for the help guys. I took the car out and the clutch feels nice and stiff now, though I'm not sure that's the result from removing the dampener or not.
EDIT - Also, I'm not sure the flare nut wrench would have worked unless you are thinking of one that might clamp down on the bolt. The bolt is literally so stripped now its round. I ended up having to use the vice grips to tighten it, which is another reason I need to grab the braided line, to replace that screw/bolt piece.
