Some camera stores sell a double wrench set that fits around the filter and the lens barrel. That way, when you rotate the filter the lens barrel will stay put. The cost is about $6 for the plastic wrenches.

If that doesn't work try one of those pickle jar lid openers from the kitchenware department of the grocery store. They're shaped like a cross between a can opener and a weird pair of pliers. One of the three or four gripper rings built into those things should do the trick, altho' it'll bugger up the outer surface of the filter's ring.

An oil filter removal wrench for a small oil filter should also work. You might find one small enough at a lawn and garden or tractor supply store.
