You could file flats onto it, to work with a spanner.

Or, cut the hose off, then cut a slot into the top and use a flathead screwdriver.

If it's still attached to the hose, just cut it off, or melt it off.

Nah its just a gold thing at the end of the hose blocking the bolt from coming off.

even if i can get the bolt off, how do i get a new one on?

There is an olive pressed onto the brake line under the shround nut. To remove this the easiest way is to cut the brake line just above the olive. It's a bad idea to try removing and reusing olives (Apart from the split ones on some Hope setups which are designed to be reused) as they're crushed onto the brake line as you close the shroud nut. You'll need a new olive to reassemble the brake.

i take it you on about the bolt that goes in to either the lever or the cylider. if you have manages to get it disconnected then cut the end of the hose off and get the correct fitment fitted. I would reccomend going to your local bike shop as they will be able to give you some advice on what you may need to get the brake in working condition again. If my memory serves me correct you are going to need a new olive on the hose aswell. hope this helps a little bit

Take the slaves off the bike, remove the crossover/barb and cut the hose just above the shroud nut. Stick the shroud nut in a vice and twist it off, failing that file flats/a slot on there and take it off that way.

As psycholist said you will need a new olive aswell :)

That's the one. If you have a very old Magura, the olive might look slightly different, but I think they're all compatible anyway. When you're reassembling make sure the brake line has a square end cut on it, there are no scratches/dirt in the area the olive will sit and that you push the brake line as far into the lever as possible so it's completely through the olive when you tighten the shroud nut. Have a look at how far the shroud nut is tightened into the slave cylinder at the other end of the brake line and copy this to gauge how far the nut should go to create a decent seal.
