I'd take it to the LBS if you are stuck. They usually have a special "persuader" tool to get that sucker off.

Or, you can relive what I went through on my Fuso. LINK
Hacksaw, dremel tool, several long screwdrivers and much colorful language was required.

Maybe a helpful link: http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=94
I may be wrong, but it appears you weren't using the correct tool to start with. Since the notches get messed up individually, I'm guessing you were using a single notch tool instead of a multi-notch tool. With aluminum cups, as much tool contact as possible at one time is best.
