the brakes will still work, if you broke the head off, it will still hold fluid

as for replacing it, people who dont have the tools or exp just buy another caliper,

replacing just the screw would require you to drill a hole into the screw and using an bolt extracting kit to unscrew it. theres a low rate of success doing this though

If you really can't find one anywhere (which I find really hard to believe) buy a wheel cylinder for a civic with rear drums (they don't cost much) and use the bleeder from it.

You can buy just the screw for $5-10 at Advance. They have it listed as a "bleeder screw".

Calipers aren't terribly expensive. I think they were $47 for good ones. And advance auto has online coupons that makes stuff more reasonable.
