I've just been using universal oil filter pliers to remove it. It galls the surface of the can but since the bottom of the can is out of site I don't really mind it.

If you can't open by hand, you tightened it too much!

It has fine threads and an O-riing, so tools shouldn't be needed provided you can get your hands on it.

Perhaps try wearing latex or nitrile work gloves to get a better grip?
