Bleeder for what? Brakes? Coolant?
If it's brakes, just grab it with vice grips. If it is coolant, then you may be able to Dremel a large notch then unscrew with a big flathead screwdriver.

Get replacements first if this is your only vehicle. Then for the future, just use a flat head screwdriver to drive it in and out. I found it less likely to round off this way.

89GTUFC3S? Like a 1989 GTU? S5? What coolant bleeder screw? S4's had them on the side of the radiator, but not the S5. The radiator cap is the high point in the S5 cooling system. So what bleeder screw? You can't mean the drain plug.
