Because the screwdriver and hammer can poke a hole in a oil fiter you think that is the proper tool? About $ 5.00 you can have the real filter un winder. A strap wrench with teeth. Or for about $24.00 you can have Wal-Mart do the job. Always install the new filter with your hands.

Go to Wal-Mart or Autozone and buy an oil filter wrench.

Have you tried to use your belt ( the one that holds up pants) cinch it done and use it to get leverage and break the seal.
