A piece of 8 mm hex stock about 1/2 inch long with a ratcheting 8 mm hex box wrench is THE way to go with this. Cut the hex stock so when inserted in the socket head cap screw you've got about 3/8 - 1/2 inch clearance and enough stock to fit the ratcheting box wrench on it. You'll be able to completely free the fastener with this set-up.
Using this technique it should take less than ten minutes to extricate the tensioner.
Yes you can replace just the roller but the clearance is even tighter than that required to remove the tensioner. Just take it out and do it on the bench. It's much easier.
