Posting here so I can link in the forum...it's a 14mm nut but rounded so that the socket slips off. How do I get it off?

I'm not sure if its possible due to the lack of access, but I'd file it down 'til its a tight fit in the next smallest socket you've got.
Over the last week I've had to file all but one of the brake line fittings in my ute down to 3/8 to get them off.

I normally weld bolts to things like this instead of nuts so that you can get a good weld around it.
