Default Brake Bleeding screw broken help!!

Hey guys I replaced my rotors and front pads a couple weeks ago and yesterday wanted to bleed the brakes.

So we got all the way through the first 3 wheels all fine and dandy, but then on the front drivers side we went to losen the brake bleeder screw and it snaped in half.

How am I going to get the other half out without damaging the caliper taking in mind the bleeder screws are in there real tight.

Thanks for your time and thoughts in advance

Out of courtesy I'm closing this thread since I'm sure by this time you have already fixed the problem at hand.
