either get yourself a proper filter removal tool ( about a fiver from a factors or halfrauds) or the cowboy way of of driving a screwdricer through the filter for leverage

Default oil filter

get a big screwdriver and hammer it straight through the filter then turn it anti clockwise, it works everytime . However, with the luck you have been having just be careful
