I have removed a few of these that were frozen on there with mineral deposits. Do not put a big wrench and twist, you can damage the supply pipe. Even drilling out the set screw often doesn't do much.

I found it easier to use a rasp bit and just dremel it off entirely. Cut both sides and peel it off. Just be cautious not to damage the the threads on the hose bib.
