BL-MT500 stripped oil inlet

[awsumco]

So I screwed up yesterday and now "school fees" are due, I recently got a Specialised Camber and the rear break lever felt "spongy". After some research found I need to try get the bubbles out of the line, which I found to be the issue. However when I replaced the screw I may have accidentally stripped the inner part as now the screw just turns. Yes I am an idiot. 

Anyway, now I am looking for a replacement part but I see that leaver may be discontinued and hard to find, any suggestions where I can find a budget friendly replacement or which shop may have the lever.

Thanks in advance for any advice ih what I can do.

This should work.

Also highly likely to be used SLX (etc) sets in the Classifieds. Should be an easy and not-too-expensive repair.

Great thanks .... so the leavers are pretty much interchangeable with the calipers in the same brand.

Should be: just remember that SRAM uses DOT oil, Shimano uses mineral oil. So stick with Shimano stuff.
