I encountered the same problem on my 2011 21V, talk about being nervous. That may have been the toughest oil filter that I have ever had to remove and I have changed oil in all kinds of vehicles.

I wouldn't take delivery on my new one without having them show me they can crack it loose and tighten it up.
Our lake house neighbor has a Yamaha wave runner and I was helping him do the first oil change on that last summer and after a couple trips to the tool store and alot of busted knuckles we simply gave up. The filter is pretty destroyed/bent up and we plan on running it over to the dealer for him since I destroyed it.
