Only way I'd know to replace the nut on the brake line and fuel line is to find a spot where you can slide the damaged nut off and slide a new one on. They're called line flare nuts, should be able to find without too much issue. If you're needing to remove or tighten until you can source new nuts you might be able to get some vice grips onto the nut to remove it or tighten it down enough.
