Get a pair of pliers/grips on it.

You can operate the valve spindle with a spanner. The screw only holds the plastic handle in place.

It is just a plastic handle to provide leverage, they snap off all the time. As said just use pliers when you need to turn it off/on.

Rather than pliers I'd suggest a spanner (fixed or adjustable) as pliers might end up rounding the valve off if you're not careful.
