Brake Bleeder's Leaking Around Threads Help

Just did a line lock install and after bleeding the brakes I have 3 of the bleeders leaking around the threads. Not very much. I have tried tightening them but am afraid to stip them. Can I put somthing around the threads (liquid teflon) to seal them? Thanks for any help.

remove and replace them. they are probably pitted or corroded and will only get worse w/ time and a thread sealer would just be a temp fix.

I should have mentioned that the car has only 24k miles it and I just recently had the calipers off for painting and the bleeders looked good. I only had an issue with one of the bleeders leaking after the paint job and that stopped after I gave it a good tightening.
