*hide* webpart from specific groups

I have a webpart that I want to hide from anyone belonging to group x.

display to groups section is not an option since, this user is a member of one of the groups I want to show it to.

basically I have unauthenticated users, authenticated users and special users (who are also authenticated users).

I want to show this webpart to unauthenticated users and authenticated users, but not to special users. If I select to show to unauthenticated and authenticated, the special users will still see it, which I don't want. So how do I hide from just the special users?

For the records this is the static text webpart.
