Busted Brake Bleed Valve

Went to bleed the brakes and had one tough-to-turn bleed valve. I ripped the head right off and left the stub in the caliper.

Any thought on getting the stub out or do I need professional help?

Since there is already a hole down the center, use an "Easyout" drill bit.

Mine did that before and I used a Dremel to grind a slot and used a flatblade screwdriver bit on a socket wrench.
