Brembo help

I am trying to bleed my brakes and found that one of the bleeders was cross threaded. Now I have a leak and cannot fully tighten it down (tried different bleeder valve screws to verify).

Can I take it to a machine shop and be fixed or am I screwed and need a whole new caliper?

If the threads are stripped in the caliper you are pretty much screwed. The bevel seals the bleeder and needs to be fully seated to not leak.
