I don't think the flexible rubber jar opener will work for this job.
The polarizer is designed to turn freely. You're really going to have
to find a filter wrench.

There is such a thing as a filter wrench designed for this contingency. An alternative is
to buy a large rubber "cork" whose diameter on the top or bottom flat is the
same as the inside clearance on the front of the filter. Buying slightly oversize is an
alternative. One approach is to press the flat of the rubber cork against the glass and
then turn, a second is to place the larger flat of the rubber cork against the front rim
of the filter and turn . . . YMMV

Need advice on unscrewing a thin circular polarizer from my 14mm. I thought I
screwed it on at below freezing but it turns out it has screwed me and now
refuses to unscrew.
Note to self - you were right all along in that filters are devilish little
thingies and you should stay as far from them as humanly possible. Seriously
though I don't see the attraction but maybe I am just fooled by the few bad
experiences I have had during the years.
