'79 brake bleeder removal

I broke off the top of the bleeder on the front right caliper trying to bleed it. The caliper is old, but still in good condition and I have no reason to buy another one without at least attempting to fix this one. It is just my nature. Has anyone had any luck removing the stuck bleeder? What tips would you have for doing this? It has basically broke flush with the casting where they normally snap.

BUT before you do,
get a MAPP gas torch and heat the area around the bleeder then spray some PB or Kroil into the bleeder,
let it sit,
do this a few times heating and spraying over the course of a few days.

NOTE you dont need to get the caliper/bleeder super hot around 300 F should do, an IR gun works well here.
after this get your tools in order an easy out and reverse drill bit .

Heat the caliper again and drill the bleeder with your reverse DB,
then fit the easyout and tap it a few times then try to unscrew it, hopefully it will come loose,
have another bleeder handy so you fill the vacant hole
