why don't you just wrap a thick rubber band around it before you start stabbing it to get some grip. just make sure it is clean. then go spend 4 bucks to get the tool.

if you think its hard on this car, try a turbo engine where it gets so hot the gasket almost seals itself.
honda sells a oil filter wrench, its basically a 12sided adapter that mates to your standard socket set and you will easily remove that filter.
option 2 buy the largest set of channel locks you can ~ 24" or 26"

The best oil filter wrench I've ever used....
That was almost 20 years ago, and that wrench has worked great ever since.
