I was wondering would it be ok to use anti seize on Bleeder screws on brakes?
 
Why? You only crack them a bit to let out the air/fluid.
 
Are you concerned with the bleeder coming loose?
Or are you concerned with contamination?
I don' t think either is an issue.
I've never had one.
And on car you drive and work on, it makes the job easier next time.
 
I would suppose a very small dab wouldn't hurt so long as you don't get it on the fluid side of the valve but, if you are worried about them seizing I would imagine by the time that happened, the cylinders would be toast too and would need to be replaced anyways.
 
2 years ago I re-did the brakes on my wifes 1978 silver anniv Corvette.
I DID have a difficult time with a couple of the Bleed screws and I ended up replacing all 8 of them (2 per caliper)
 
Do you have the little rubber caps that go on them. They seize when the cap is missing. Crud and grime and what have you gets into them and thats what makes them get stuck. Never had a problem as long as the cap is on
