Can you bleed brakes if bleeder is broken?

Can I drive with a broken bleeder valve?
If the brake pedal height is normal, and does not get harder when you pump it a few times, then there is probably no air in the hydraulic system. If that is the case, driving it with a broken off bleeder that is not leaking fluid is not a safety issue.

Can you drill out a bleeder screw?
I’ve had luck carefully drilling out the bleeder a bit and just hammering in a small torx screw bit in and using that as an extractor, the larger you can fit in the better. Be careful if you are drilling into it though, too deep and you’ll ruin the sealing ability of a replacement bleeder.
