Default Brake bleeder valve sheered off, now what??

Trying to bleed the brakes and the left rear inside bleeder
valve sheered off. Can this be replaced? Can it be done
without opening the caliper?

Thanks for the help.
BTW, this is on a 1978.

Had that happen about 6 months ago, tried to fix it, no luck, it just kept sucking air so I had to replace mine. :mad

Try an E-Z-Out, should be able to get one, or a set, a any decent tool store.
