Top rad pipe bleed screw

I have heard of people holding a blow torch to the end of a small flat head screw driver then inserting it into the remaining screw section. It melts enough off you to get a bit of grip to undo.

If it was me I would buy another top hose for £36.
 
Get 2 self tapping screw in it, then just screwdriver/ bit metal to turn.. job done...

p.s then dump stupid plastic caps and replace with brass ones!

I would do both of these things, and if the hot screwdriver works, take the new hose back for refund. :)
