I have seen them fixed with a hellicoil kit if it's the treads. If it's the bleeder nut area stripped I used a torque socket on it. it's a socket design to remove stripped nuts and bolts.Hope this helps???

yea it the threads on the caliper. I can get the bleeder out and even tried installing a second one.
