Default Clutch Bleeder screw will not shut

Hey. I need some help. I needed to bleed my clutch today and it was going reasonably smoothly until my bleeder screw will not go all the way. I shut is as tight as i can and it wont hold any fluid in it all just drains right out. Anybody have any ideas to fix this.

Take it all the way out and inspect it and it's seat. Probably a piece of crud under it.

I cleaned it all out tried it again and broke the head off the bleeder screw. on the plus side it is sealed and my clutch feels better than why i first bought my jeep.
