Default Rear bleed nipples

Had a disaster! both of the bleed nipples have sheered off with little effort. Have tried easy outs and drilling them out.

My question is do I drill the hole out to 8mm and put an insert in to accept a new 6mm nipple or do I have an other option? Also where can I get the bits needed?

The trouble is when you drill them out,you are going to have to strip the whole caliper down just to make sure no **** has fallen down the hole.
