Looking at the responses, if it was my project I'd prioritize it this way:
1) Try unscrewing the remnants of the nipple ala look171's technique. If that fails or the nipple breaks to the threads,
2) Try cleaning out the threads inside the elbow and chase the threads. If not possible or that fails,
3) Try unscrewing/replacing the elbow with new one and new nipple. If that fails,
4) You're left with going into the wall and up toward the attic. Anything goes now.
