Will keep looking...
Are they not just a standard size? The parts stores all have a large assortment of Dorman and other brands of bleed screws. There's no secret sauce here.

Tech2 to flush the ABS module, as well.

Is there a way to bypass the ABS module? Asking for a friend.

Calling BS on this. Did my first flush in 10+ years last year. Car has 113K miles on it. No braking issues.....oh, and I've put all but 1500 miles on the car in 20 years.

I would agree. It's not "too late" as the supposed damage done is overblown. I know plenty of people with original brake fluid with 50,000+ miles on the fluid and no issues. Not saying that it is a good thing to leave fluid in there for so long but saying it's "too late" is not factually correct.
