Clutch problem! Please help

[Acrocha3]

Hey guys, so the other day I was driving home from work and my clutch pedal stuck to the floor!...got it home and noticed my slave cylinder was bad, so I replaced that and while I was at it I replaced the master too. Got it all on and bled the system as best as I could and the clutch pedal felt normal again, cane back out on its own once I pressed it in. I took it up the street for a test drive and bam, clutch pedal stuck to the floor again. Pulled it into my driveway and there was a puddle if fluid under the car, I found out that the fluid was coming from the hydraulic line that goes into the banjo bolt onto the slave cylinder, also found out that little 10mm nut is stripped, what should I do? And what's the best way to go about the stripped nut? Please respond with any answered/suggestions, thanks guys

did you replace the copper washers on the banjo bolt and torque to spec? if the washers are still smooth you can clean them with some scotchbrite and probably reuse them, make sure all sealing surfaces are clean corrosion free and smooth as possible then torque to spec. what 10 mm nut are u talking about?

I did replace the copper rings (kit came with a new set) and I didn't torque it to spec because I guess I failed to look if there was a torque spec (whoops) but ill try to upload a pic of the 10mm bolt I'm talking about(the circle on the far right side)..and I was also curious if an aftermarket clutch line (stainless steel braided line etc...) would be a good alternative...and where's a good place that sells a good quality one. Thanks

EDIT: I realized the pic is a highlight of the bolt that holds the slave cylinder in place, IT'S NOT THAT BOLT, the nut I'm talking about is the one at the end of the hydraulic line in the right highlighted circle

If the nut is stripped then try using a tap and dye set to clear the threads up. Those kits have saved my ass countless times
