Same thing happened to me. I tried the EZ out, but it did not help. Had to drill mine out and install a bleeder repair kit (sold at Napa). The kit is needed if you drill too deep and damage the seat (like I did). I think the part number is BF117.
Good Luck.

See if you can get a left hand drill bit. The bleeder might walk out while your drilling. I have had that happen several times. Worst can happen is you get a hole big enough to use a bigger eazyout
