Yeah, I've done the "punch-a-screwdriver-through-and-use-as-a-handle" trick and had it backfire on me too. I ended up just shearing the rest of the filter's outer casing off, and used vice grips to unscrew what was left at the base. Messy, but not too much trouble.
And as Bill Bumface said, going forward it's nice to know that if you do it yourself you'll never run into this trouble again.
