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!

I really appreciate everyone's advice, but it seems as if this has gone past my level of ability. I'm gunna have to bring it to someone. Thanks so much for your help.
