I did the same thing on my 3.1. I bought a new bleeder screw at autozone for like $3. It was even made out of brass :-]

I just went into auto zone and asked a guy at one of the computers about a bleeder valve for the cooling system. He brought up a diagram of my cooling system, I pointed at the part, he went to back to get part.

The valve on the 3100 is different than the one on the 3800, but it still may be available aftermarket (probably Dorman or Motormite).
