Bleedscrew broken fixable?

[koontz]

On One of my radiators, the bleed screw has snapped, it is different than the other in that it looks like it is replaceable, but want a second opinion.

All down to whether the fitting will come out of the tapping in the radiator without snapping. Wouldn't take the chance TBH, if it does then it''s a new rad.

You could use one of these, real easy to fit if your handy and have a battery gun.
