Default I have a problem

As you can see, I have sufficiently rounded (or rectangled) out my bleed nut on my rear drum on the driver's side. I am completely stumped on removing it. It's rusted in and vice grips have not worked. Any ideas?

Replace the wheel cyl. they are relatively cheap. OR, Drill it, re-tap it, flush the hell out of it, and install abiggerone in it's place.

If you have enough room to still get a hold of it try heating it up with a torch and then it should break free.If you can not get a hold on the bleeder you will have to remove the wheel cylinder to get ot out and if you go through that just put a reman in!

you can also try using a grinder to get that octo shepe and use a smaller wrench and some pb blaster to losen it and brakedown the rust
