Pics! Brake lines trouble -- Leaking and stripped. Any ideas welcome

I was changing my brake lines to steel braided today and ran into some trouble. After I finished the swap, I was bleeding my brakes and I noticed small drips from the rear right line.
I went to look at it and after tightening it, the fluid didn't drip but very slowly leaked out and it only happened when I pressed my brake with my hand and went to go look at it. I tried tightening it again and the bolt very easily stripped. The 10mm wrench grabs the bolt but slips and now I can't tight OR loosen the bolt.
It's connected to the line now and still leaks a little which sucks.


Rear brake line bolted it















Back of the brake line connection. Circled in red is what's stripped and leaking very slowly.








What can I do? It's stripped so I can't remove it and leaking = BAD.

If/when I do make it work, do I have to re-bleed all of the lines?
