I would take it to a machine shop unless you have the right equipment
available to you. They are difficult to get out since the surrounding
metal is so soft. If the drill wanders a little it will avoid the cheap
bleeder screw and hog out the nice expensive caliper. A machinist would
probably either use a mill to drill it out or weld a nut to it and
unscrew it. The latter is a good trick and I have seen it work many
times.<br>
If you are quite patient (and know when to quit) you may be able to get
them out with a left handed drill bit. Heat up the area first to help
loosen the rusty grip on the screw.<br><br>
