Not much else to be done. If it's clearly old as the hills I'll assume I'm replacing them. Provides a kind of liberty for removal. I use a 6-pt box-end, apply a healthy amount of turning force, and simultaneously pop the bleeder tip with a hammer. The combination of forces has worked reliably.

Yes, good penetrant each day before the job is cheap help.
