can you recommend a tool for this?

there is a PVC fitting screwed to the bottom of my skimmer (see picture below). I am trying to remove it but it is impossible to hand-remove. there are hex sides at the bottom of it but I cannot think of a wrench or socket that will get in there around it. Some kind of T-shaped tool maybe?

Do you care if you damage it? I would drop the water an inch below the top of the fitting and file or angle grind a slot in it and then use a screwdriver in the slot to turn it.
 
I'm guessing that it might be an mta. Maybe just push a piece of pipe into the socket and unscrew.

Don't force it because it might be glued.

Don't lean the pipe because it could crack the skimmer.
