Strange application of Stoke's Theorem

Problem

This initially appeared to me to be a standard Stoke's Theorem problem. Upon trying to compute the curl, I ran into a complete mess that is seemingly unsolvable in any reasonable time frame.

Am I wrong in assuming that this is a Stoke's Theorem problem? I also checked to see if it was a conservative force field, which I did not find it to be. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
