Clutch Line and Bleed screw

SO driving home last night and went to shift from 3 to 4 and the clutch pedal just stuck to floor. got under the truck and the clutch line to the slave had popped out of its holder. Tried to jam it back in but couldn't get it to go. Got it back home (tow strap). and tried to pop open the bleed screw to release pressure so I can put the clutch line back in to the fitting but, the damn bleed screw shears in half! See photos - So am I screwed here and half to drop tranny to replace the slave? Or do you think i can drill out the bit of bleed left or maybe wrench it off and replace the bleed screw?
Also not sure why the clutch line came off in first place, been driving it around for nearly a year with out issue (bought used). the fittings both look happy - see photos.

Unless you can get the rest of that bleeder screw out with vise grips or something or possibly an easy out AND a new line(from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder) will attach to the slave cylinder, you will likely be pulling the transmission. That's the way it looks to me anyway.

if you cant get the rest of the bleeder out with vice grips you might be able to drill it.
