Just a thought...wonder if you couldn't fit a length of (clear vinyl) tube to it, open it, and blow the krud that's keeping it from sealing back in to the radiator.
Maybe not...just a thought.

When you get this resolved, NEVER use the petcock again.
They are generally under-designed and when they fail, it's a royal PITA as you can see.
For draining coolant, simply loosen the clamp on the lower radiator hose and "carefully" wiggle it off. Have a big pan ready for the rush of coolant that will come out.
