There is no such thing as a nice way to reject someone. Don't worry about not wanting to hurt his feelings. After all, you already told him to back off, right? He would've already been hurt by that. If not, he's just an airhead or living in denial that he still has a chance with you.

Get him to sit down and talk to you about it. Don't do it through instant messaging or on the phone. Tell him exactly how you feel - that you only think of him as a friend.

If he still keeps on bothering you, don't pay him much attention. The "fun" will eventually wear of him and he will soon accept the fact that you two can't be any more than just friends.
