stripped my threads in my caliper.......

wondering what you guys have done if you've stripped your threads for your bleeder screw?? i checked the threads, seems like the fitting has a pitch of 32, but it doesnt seem to be a metric 5, sae 8 or 10. im guessing its a 4, but i cant find a heli coil kit for a M4.

im stuck.
