So, consider sacrificing a cheap box wrench and rounding the nose on a grinding wheel before doing the job. Otherwise, you risk being in a world of hurt if you round off those fasteners.

I believe you're describing what's called a flare nut wrench or sometimes called a line wrench

Harbor Freight has a set for a reasonable price. Work great for hardline fittings where a crescent wrench would round it off
