You are lucky if you escaped without scratching your panel! I use 
nutdrivers for this kind of thing, and also install a smooth flat washer 
behind the nut -- or I use a knurled nut rather than a hex nut and 
tighten it by hand.

If one doesn't have a nutdriver, a normal mechanic's socket (held in the 
hand, not attached to a ratchet!) works.
