The vice grips would probably work, but you'd ave a hard 
time getting the bearing back on (or off for that matter)
because of the damage you already thought of.

I have no further experience with this, but maybe you can remove 
the hub, so the threads on the end of the axle/spinde are free. 
put the nut onto the threads and then put on ANOTHER NUT.
Turn both nuts onto each other so they don't move anymore,
put on a box wrench and wedge that to the floor with a breaker bar.

What ever you do, when you have everything off of the car,
be sure to check why your axle/spindle can rotate! 
This is NOT supposed to be this way, the axle should be wedged
into the knuckle. It being slightly coned at the end, putting
on the AD-nut and torqueing it will secure the axle into the knuckle.

Good luck with your next tries,
