Kinked fuel tank filler hose

Been harder and harder to fill gas tank. Looked today and found a serious kink where the hose has a steep radius bending into the top of the tank. Replacing hose would be simple IF you could get to the hose clamp. It was installed where the tightening screw is impossible to get out without dropping tank. A dremmel cutoff wheel would be quick if it was not on top of a GAS TANK. So, do hoses like this collapse over time. I've wedged a block of dense blue board foam to help lessen the kink, but it is still noticeable. A piece of hacksaw blade would be hard to saw due to location of clamp. Any ideas on how to remove hose clamp?

No, this is pretty much under the shower stall.

Any access (panel)from above ?
I have seen a few where they actually cut a hole in the floor to get access to the
top of the tank to get access to replace fuel pump etc without having to drop the tank.
Coarse the area was underneath the bed or other hidden area..
