I went and got longer bleeder screws. I'll see if I can come up with a part number. Basically the same 3/8-24 thread but the hex part where you put your wrench is about 3/4 inch long.

Edit: I can't come up with the part number. Might have been Dorman 13901 but they don't look like I describe in the pictures I see online. I seem to remember having that being the case when I got them at O'reilly's.
I had a new wheel cylinder that came with the same short screw. You would think it would be obvious to whoever is rebuilding them, the short bleeder won't work.
