If need be can you cut a slot in it to use a screwdriver?

is it something needle nose mole grips could manage?

I’ve got a radiator with the same problem. Except my bleed valve is in the back! So my beefy key won’t fit and with a key which does fit I can’t get enough leverage to shift it.
It’s the last rad in the house I haven’t replaced- but it’s happening this summer (I bought a load of used Hudevad radiators v cheap on eBay)The right sized square key should get it to move, or Airhead’s socket idea.
Maybe try and get some penetrating oil in there first, you could dam the bottom of the recess with blu tack or plasticine and flood it with Plus Gas ?Heating it will also help - but it would have to be hot enough to burn off the paint.

Tappy tap tap. Get something on it and give it a right whack
