if you hadn't ripped the housing off, I would say get a big pair of channel locks and try that.

Put some heat on it, not to much that you ignite the oil & just make sure you're turning it the right way [ lefty - loosey , righty - tighty]

That's just plain weird. Usually the screwdriver through the filter works as the last resort.

If you have'nt got a heat source you can always use the the kitchen oven now you taken the housing off, it will stink a bit.

When you get the old filter off. Make sure to LUBE THE GASKET so it will be easier the next time. When a filter is stuck, it is almost always because the gasket wasn't lubed correctly, or at all. I've had my share of stuck filters because the last place to perform an oil change didn't do this.
