Angry Speed Bleeder (Earls) stuck plunger in rear caliper

Replaced my front brakes this weekend and was going to bleed the system but it turns out my Passenger Rear speed bleeder's brass plunger is stuck in the housing. I was able to completely remove the bleeder screw and spring but the plunger seems to be wedged in there. Didn't want to try and muck with it too much so i left it alone until i got some replacements. Anyone experience this problem before?

Anyone know that size of the stock bleeder screws and where to buy them?
Looking at replacing all the speed bleeders with the stock screws.

This is for a 93 Camaro with LS1 front brakes upgraded and stock 93' rear calipers. Thanks!

Here's photos of the stuck and busted speed bleeders.
