To remove a stuck brake bleeder nipple, use Vice-Grips.

They will remove nearly anything.

definitely, and if it feels like it is going to snap off, then heat the area up with an oxy torch (trying not to get too close to a brake hose of course. Usually if it's corroded/rusted tight, the application of heat will 'unstick it' - then reapply the vice grips whilst teh bleeder/surrounding caliper wall is still quite warm and undo it.
