Need help removing completely stripped brake line to replace it

Asked by GuruT4X44 Jun 06, 2018 at 06:52 PM about the 2010 Honda Fit Sport

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was bleeding my rear brakes, and had a hard time getting the brake line
back in. I think I did nearly everything I should not have. Now I need to
replace the back left brake line but I cannot remove the bolts as they are
completely stripped. One is entirely stripped (circular now, and slightly bent) I
took an electric saw to the metal hose, but I cannot get the stripped bolts out
(so far I have tried lubricant and tapping). I have posted pictures. What
should I do? Is this a lost cause and I need to take it in?
