Exclamation Brake Bleed Screw

I have a cross-threaded bleed screw Screw is about 1/3 or less crooked..........Not to severe I hope..........
Advance list a Rogers replacement of a 1/4 28 thread for the rear, & 3/8 24 for the front
Is this correct ???
If it is I will try to find a tap and clean out the threads. Anyone had this problem before ??? Any advice ???
I am almost ready to get my truck on the road............. It has been a wild & stressful , extremely long journey............
I do hope I can ENJOY DRIVING IT for the rest of my days here on earth........

Just buy another wheel cylinder. The cylinders cost less than the two taps required to clean up the threads. If they can be cleaned up.
