I believe this is the vent to my plumbing but I’ve never seen a cap like this. Any ideas?

Use a flat piece of metal or wood and lay it across the cap, then turn. It will apply pressure to two of the nubs instead of one, preventing damage.

This worked like a charm thanks. Surprised how easy it ended up being. When I tried a different method it felt like it was glued shut.
