Default brake help, Stripped Bleeder hole.

Okay so as the title says the bleeder hole to my front driver side brembo caliper is stripped.
Not really sure how this happened, when I got it back from the powdercoating place it was fine, I made sure to check all of them. Now its not. Im thinking one of the people I live with tried to mess with it but thats besides the point...
I brought it to a machinist and they told me that they would not do it due to liability.
Is there anyway to make this functioning again? Even if I have to use a cap and deal with bleeding them from the other calipers and having a small amount of air.
Anyway to save this? The Brakes look fantastic candy blue and it would be a shame to just throw it away and pay close to 800 dollars for a new caliper as well as a new paint job for that caliper...
Let me know guys. Looking for options besides replacing the brake as a hole.
