Cannot Remove !#*#@$ factory oil filter!

I've spent the last 2.5 hours trying to remove the stupid factory installed oil filter from my '09 and can't! I've been to three auto parts stores and Wal-Mart with no luck! I cannot find a filter wrench that will fit the stupid thing! I tried a bigger wrench with rubber wrapped around it and it also won't work, nor will my rubber strap wrench.

Help! I need to drive the car > 200 miles tomorrow and I'm afraid that the dents that I put into the can might cause a leak if they're too sharp!! Any advice?
