Can I get a rear wheel cylinder with normal bleeders?

All of the parts store wheel cylinders seem to come with the janky 6.5mm head bleeder screws that are too small and break off the next time you go to actually bleed them. Nevermind trying to find a 6.5mm wrench. Does anyone still make a USA made part or does anyone know of a brand that at least uses a standard size head on the bleeder? I would replace the bleeders only but the length and thread and diameter are all very small as well.
 
In all my years of wrencing for a living i have never come across a 6.5 mm anything.
5.5 mm is common. I anti sieze the bleeders and am very careful when tightening.
I do get the frustration with the teenie bleeders though.
 
Take the bleeder screw out before you install the wheel cylinders and anti-seize the threads so they won't rust shut...
