Call a plumber , yes a plumber . This can be very dangerous and it sounds like you need to replace a few things so you have a safe stove to cook on.

You have to turn it to the right to get it off. Spray some wd-40 on the threads, let it set for a bit and try the vise grips again.

remember propane tank connection threads are "LEFT" hand threads Not "RIGHT" hand threads
