I had the identical problem on my last rear brake job as well. I agree with the others that it actually is worth trying a little pressure on the piston while turning the screw. If your channel locks aren't big enough, maybe you have a C clamp that will work. it may well not do the job and you will end up replacing the caliper anyway like I did, but the aftermarket ones are pretty crappy quality wise. at the very least it will look rusty and nasty after the first time you drive through rain as there is no corrosion proof coating on them.
