The threads don't seal. If you look at the bleeder screw you will see a
reduced diameter portion with a radial hole that leads to a hold that runs down
the center and out the end. If the tapered end doesn't seat the bleed hole
will
bypass the threads anyway.
It may be a good idea to put a little anti-sieze on the threads but sealing
them woun't buy you anything.
