but I don't think there's enough room around the oil filter to swing
the handle.

Can you maybe get a long sharp screwdriver or chisel onto the rim and
hit it with a hammer there on an angle towards off? I have managed to
get one off something that way a while back. The impact can get it
started... or really screw it up by starting a leak, so be warned....

Ask them what type/model tool they use to remove it at quickie lube and then
go buy one yourself..

The other option is you can buy/install a remote filter adapter and locate
it to an more accessible place

Another option for right now might be to fill the 'cap wrench' with 5 minute
epoxy and glue it to the filter. After it sets up you can apply your socket
wrench and twist it off.
Or wrap the cap flutes with duct tape

or

wrap a couple turns of duct take around a ratchet extension and then a
couple more around the filter body

Ya know..... I probably have at least one of all these tools. Some work
great, some are specialized to specific vehicles, and some are just cr^p.

The ones I use most often are the ones below.
