Default Shorter bleeder screw on clutch slave cylinder?

So I am building my b18c1 turbo and I have A ram horn turbo manifold and the turbo hits the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder. Does anyone know if I can swap the bleeder screw for a shorter one from another car? If I clock the turbo more the intake pipe will hit the radiator. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I think I would see if you could get away with shaving the nipple off the bleeder screw. Not sure if you can but that would be better (if it works) than switching to a flat head bolt to plug the bleeder hole. Flat head bolt would make it a real PITA to bleed and purge the clutch slave cylinder.

Here is what I am thinking. I can't put this M7 nut on there, weld it to the top of the bleeder and cut off the nipple. I can clean it up and make it look pretty decent. What do you guys think?
It still gives me clearance under the nut which you can see and the bleeder is screwed all the way in.
