There are many sizes of bleeder screws. You could try to replace the new short/small ones with longer ones. I'd bet a trip to Napa, along with the small bleeder screw would prove fruitful. Make sure the business end matches (size and threads) and the visible portion of the screw is longer.
I think I'm going to try that this weekend...the trip to Napa...
