I looked at rotating the fittings in several configurations and decided to leave the "other" two brake lines as is. With my luck, once I disturb them they'll end up getting cross-threaded too.
I realize it sounds as though I'm asking for help, then turning around and shooting the ideas down; actually, it does sound that way to me too. But I am evaluating each idea. And it's handy to have the fall-back strategies because my current direction keeps failing.
And I've learned to make a double-flare connection now - not a particularly good one, but it seals and I'll get better at it. The next trick will be the one-handed double-flare performed in front of the radiator.
