Fuel line to pump "Need help" :)

I took out my old fuel pump yesterday and tried taking off the short piece of hard line (on the output side of the fuel pump) that connects the rubber line to the carb. When trying to take the hard line off, it stripped the fitting.

Would i be able to use a AN fitting directly on the fuel pump (please see picture attached) or do i need to get another piece of hard line?

If i need to make another piece of hard line, is brake line the same as fuel line or are they different? I tried finding some info online but couldn't find any conclusive answers LOL.
