Brembo Bleeder Nipple Stripped

I need some assistance. After installing my brembos during the bleeding process one nipple on each front caliper springs a leak and shoots brake fluid all over my wheel well. I replaced one with a new valve and had to crank it down really tight to stop leaking. It also didn't feel like it threaded too smoothly. The other side is ruined. Most of the threads in the caliper are gone.

I think my only option is to have a machine shop tap a larger thread and put in a larger valve. Has anyone had this problem and knows what thread size and bleeder valve size I should get? Would you recommend re-tapping the first one that seems to be fine for now? I'm worried it will not hold up to the pressure eventually. Any advice is appreciated.
