Take the valve apart and get a new stem. Is it a control valve are a shower valve, ether way you can take them apart, you can melt the solder on the valve with water in it you have to cut the line are drain it down, make sure you turn water off in house, if you can use an easyout go to a Plumbing supplyhouse and get the right one.
