Default Bleeding screws broke off

Brake pedal feels soft so decided to bleed the brakes over the weekend. Had both rear done, but both front bleed screws broke off. Tried chisel method, did not work. Drilled it out, and the easy out broke inside. Do you the muffler shop can get them out? Any idea?
Thanks,

Note: If you have two spare front calipers that you want to sell, please ping me.

Best option would be salvage yard. On line would be LKQ and others.

You can take the calipers to a machine shop but at the end you decision will be based on how soon you want the vehicle on road vs cost.
