One of the best ways to get those stubborn bleeders out is to get a proper size socket and use an impact wrench, Starting out with light impact and progressing to stronger impacts will often work well.

Another choice is a hot air gun The one I have came (from Bosch) with three different nozzels so you could select what type of airstream you want and a choice between 250 and 500 degrees Celcius on the air ( that would be about 500/900 Farenheit ), perfect for removing paint, loosening rusted details, shaping plastic details or getting curly hair :-)
