Some penetrant (like PBlaster) might be helpful.  I use a six point socket
for the initial loosening if I am expecting trouble.

A mini-impact working of the wrench (as opposed to a heavy-handed turning)
can have better results.

Going forward, I think keeping rubber caps on the bleeders reduces the
chance of future problems.
