Brake Caliper Rebuild Needed

I have a few things I need to figure out with this right front brake caliper.

1. Last year I sheared off the head of a bleeder screw during a brake fluid flush. I just replaced the caliper but now I'd like replace the bleeder screw and get the caliper set up to run again. I was told that extracting the screw is difficult ... something about the assembly and the threads that make it easy to damage. Any truth to that. How about suggestions to get it out safely.

2. After extracting the screw, would you replace with an OEM bleeder valve? I've looked into speed bleeders but no confidence that putting those in will make much difference.

3. Finally, time for a rebuild of the caliper piston seals. Are there kits available? I planning on doing all 4 after the season is done this fall. As you can see from the picture, it's time. Any advice on these as far as a DIY project.



Thanks for the help
