Could try a bit of heat on it.They are a bugger when they snap off.

There are two nipples on the rear caliper (on a curvy)so you may get away with using the other one or else I suppose it's drilling and messing about.

There's another one hiding around the back on the other half of the caliper.It kind of sticks out towards the rear of the caliper.There is on mine anyway.

The chances of bleeding the system using only one of the nipples is unlikely to be successful. The only way you will do this is if there is no air in the lines from the start. If you already have air in the system, it will almost definitely take bleeding from both nipples to get all the air out.
