Front driver side hard brake line; the one that the soft line from the caliper connects to. It goes to the ABS unit and it maybe 6"-12" long.

What I would do is just use a pair of vice grips and save the trouble of replacing. If you're only aiming to replace the stripped nut you can just cut off the brake line, replace nut (source from McMaster or something), and flare the end of the line. Nothing too complicated for a DIY. Could source something from a wrecked car. Check http://www.car-part.com/ or a local junkyard. I'm pretty sure most totaled cars will still have an okay brake line.
If you're not lazy like me I would get some new lines and bend it to shape. Looks like pic shows the front brake lines so it's nothing that bad. If it's the driver side front then it's super easy.

I've been considering cutting and flaring the existing line if I can"t find the part number; realistically I could tighten it with the vice grips as is but it should be repaired imo.
