Another thought: what about puttin ga new bleed screwin the other end? perhaps you can remove the plug there more easily thatn getting the original screw to work.

From the OP's description it sounds like he has a rad similar to one of the ones in my living room (this place has a right mixture or rads, no 2 are the same, most are on 15mm but 2 are on that shitty 8mm microbore crap)
anyhoo, if it's the same rad then there's only one bleeder location as there are no end caps at the top of the rad, the bleed screw goes into a boss brazed to the top tank of the rad,
mine was tight as hell when i first went to bleed it, mine is exposed so i was able to use a spanner on it, and wiggeling it left and right till it freed off is what got it loose,
as for the direction to undoo, lefty loosey, righty tighty, but of course as the bleed screw is on the back of the rad pointing to the wall, you have to think as if you were behind the wall, so in this instance righty is loosey, but it's really lefty as your beck to fornt and... oh i'm confusing my self now :)
