Rounded out Brake Caliper Line

Rounded out Brake Caliper Line
Good Afternoon all,
I have an 83 244GL. I'm in the process of swapping out both front frozen brake calipers. Well, I've managed to round out the driver side front lower caliper line nut. Even worse, I've managed to round out where the line connects to the hose too but have managed to loosen where the hose connects to another line. So my question is how can i remove the caliper, line that connects to it, and that hose that connects to those 2?
Any place I can go besides the dealership to buy the line and hose?
Thanks in advance

agreed. i replaced the rear calipers and was able to loosen all the other 3 nuts on the caliper. it was just that lower one on the driver side. it was partially operator error too. i went out there at about 30F with only pb blaster and regular wrench. in any case, it's only a waiting game with a lesson learned at this point.
