The only thing you can try to do is drill into the remains of the nipple and use a removal tool. This uses a left hand thread so as you screw it in and it tightens it also loosens the remains of the nipple. the only other option is removal of the caliper and get a local engineering works to get it out. Good luck

You'll prob need specialist to do this now as drilling the nipple etc will put crap in the brake line...it will need full clean after...Might be easier just to get another 2nd hand one?
