And the solution I have used before today.........Undo the brake hose half a turn, and bleed through that, locking back up after every pump.if were talking bleed nipples they are as hard as the devils nutting bag (not easy to drill)

This was my first thought. But at this age the pistons will be corroded so to be safe replace the Calipers. A good motor factors will soon get them I would also look at the flexible pipes.The nipples have a taper seat and drilling out will destroy them,
Nipples are not standard! There are many types / diameter/taper/thread,
The easiest way is a small needle flame to keep the heat localised to the nipple and gently ease it loose, warning! Brake fluid is flammable so any leakage as the nipple undoes May ignite but a wet rag will sort it out,
Now after saying that! I wouldn't bother, if the corrosion is extensive I would replace the cylinders/ calliper, in the great scheme of things fitting new brake components is the safest thing to do, also bare in mind the brake fluid is probably well past it sell by date so should be completely replaced with DOT4 or DOT5.1 at the same time,
