I have taken a few off, even mine. You need to turn it hard to the left. You could try channel locks since its already messed up. You can also pull the valve cover and push in the hold in clips and it'll come right off. I always just twisted really hard to bend the clips the other way to get it to come out. They're not really clips but thick plastic retainers to help lock it in.
