I've tried to use vise grips and wrenches on stuck piston lock nuts before. It doesn't work very well.
Go find someone with an impact gun, if your car isn't taken apart or you can find a ride. I went to a local mechanic I know, and he let me use his air wrench real quick to loosen them.
Edit: The thought occured to me that you may merely be needing a way to access the nut. After all, you have to put nut back on at some point, too.
You might just have to bite the bullet and buy the offset end wrenches.
