Personally, I wouldn't half a$$ my brakes..

but..
Try a screw remover that fits the bleeder hole. It's basically a screw with reversed threads.
If it comes out, you're golden.
or..

Drill it out a bit, then try the appropriate screw remover.
or..

take it off, line it up really well, secure it on a drillpress. Carefully drill it out to the size of the threads. Then see if you can spin the old threads out. If not, you could always helicoil it, but like I said... I wouldn't half a$$ my brakes.
or..

Weld a bolt on it and turn it out.

Oh yeah.. dont' drill too far.

good luck.
