Default Need help on bleeder screw size

Hey guys - I power bled my brakes. The back 2 went fine, but when i got to the passenger front the damn screw rounded off, so I did 3 outta 4.
Couple questions I need help on.
Never had that happen before, is the best way to remove it with vise grips or something else?
Can I just bleed the one line or do I have to do all 4 corners again?
And finally, I can someone confirm the pic below is the correct size bleed screw.
M10 1.5. overall length 30mm
07 SCREW 5,4 4x2. Thanks fellas!

My research shows 10x1 for bleeder screw. I would try vice grips, but you might have to try drilling and an easy out.

Good Luck!

Well it snapped off flush with the caliper! I have plenty of brakes ,there are no leaks and it didnt budge. Want to save this for next weekend, while I get the caliper etc.
Would love to go to fireatone or goodyear but have a feeling i’ll be butt sore when i leave there.
Whatcha guy thinks

Btw, Napa has the bleeders for our truck $3

A #2 easy out should take it right out.

thanks guys!
techrep - picked up a extractor set that has a drill bit on one side and the remover on the other. Should i use both. See pics of the snap off.
Any tips or advise when using. Thanks

No need to drill it if that first extractor will bite in the bleeder hole.
