Sounds like the method may be part or all of the problem. I like to step on the pedal (requires a helper) and then crack the bleeder screw for just a second or so. Re-tighen it, have the helper let off the pedal, than step on the pedal again and repeat the process. Some times I have to except "as good as I can get" and move to the next wheel. After two or three times around they should be firm if there is not another issue.
