so yah I was bleeding my brakes and I got the left rear first then after I finished bleeding that one I went to the right rear and the bleeder screw was worn I could'nt loosen it with my 10mm wrench I was wondering what I could do to get it out? the head of the screw was practically round.

Stripped nut removal sockets, Sears has em.

Also, invest in a flare nut wrench with a 10mm end. It will allow you to remove fittings without tearing it up.
