Stripped Caliper at bleed valve.

I don't think you understand the situation. The valve is out. But, when it came out, it took half the caliper threads with it. The hole in the caliper where the valve goes is now slightly wider at the top than the valve body, and it's missing half the treads. The bottom half of the threads in the hole are fine.

You could use a timesert and repair it or replace the caliper. Both jobs are pretty straightforward.

++ TIME-SERT Screw thread inserts. Threaded bushings for stripped threads repair threaded bushings inserts for stripped threads insert thread repair

Hey Tony;
Some things are just not worth taking chances with, braking system is one of them. Replace the part and think about it no more.
