Dak Wheel Cylinder Woes

With the brakes on my Dak feeling spongy (quick bleed job last time),
I went to bleed them again. Last time, which was ~6 months ago, I
replaced the rear wheel cylinders because the bleed nipples broke off.
Well, guess what! The bleed nipples broke off again. ~6 months old.
How does one avoid this with the new cheapazz chinametal? Is teflon
tape a good idea on the bleed nipple threads? Or better yet, any
sources on decent quality wheel cylinders? I got the last ones from
AZ.
