Default Hydraulic bicycle brakes

Sorry guys I am not really expecting an answer . It's just that I asked
in Uk.rec.cycling but it immediately degenerated into a trollfest.

I don't want to go the whole drill out the lever body, tap the hole
insert a helicoil reinsert bleed screw route. I think I would rather
just pay the £30 for a new lever set-up

Recently bled/burped my (Tektro)brakes but the wee screw that goes into
the lever feels like it has stripped. The front lever bleed screw
tightens fully but the bleed screw for the rear just spins .

Do I have no option but to buy a new lever for the rear brakes or does
someone have a way of rescuing the situation ?



C (or rather the wee hole it fits into).
