That's how the thing always rounds off for me. They have so much formed plastic around the base of the nut where it attaches to the oil filter body that it doesn't provide a flat surface around the nut so you can't seat the wrench on the nut very well.
After that happens, I usually just go at the filter body with channel locks.
