Take off the caliper and drill it out. You can buy reverse drill bits, which is what Id try first.
Take the caliper off the car, soak it a few times with pb blaster, wd40, whatever. Let it sit for a while. Take a reverse drill bit and see if you can back it out. If not, drill it out with a normal bit, tap the hole and put a new bleeder valve in.

What ever you do make sure to soak it in TONS of penitrateing oil, just don't get any on the pads/rotors. So you will have to take the caliper all the way off. Anyways the penitrateing oil will make a HUGE difference in how easy/hard it comes out.

If it's not fixable for some reason (which would seem unlikely) new front 4 piston brakes are ~$120CDN from any autoparts store and I think the rears are less. Unless you are very lucky they will have to order one in for you.
