If you can get PB Blaster in your area try spraying it on the bleeder daily for several days. After that an Easy-Out might be able to loosen it. If not, start with a drill that's a little bigger than the hole in the bleeder and keep increasing the drill sizes until you get almost to the outer size of the bleeder. At that point you should be able to take a punch and collapse the remaining part of the bleeder and get it out.
If you don't want to go through all that trouble, you can get a caliper at places like Autozone for ~$50.00.
