I'll bet you have some crud blocking the orifice, so the pump sees full pressure and shuts off.
You may have to pull the caliper and clean it out.
However, before you do that, I would remove the bleeder screw completely and clean it out. Crud might be jammed in the bleeder screw.
don't stop there, because there is probably some crud in the caliper, too.
With any luck, the crud will be small enough to get out the hole. Try bleeding with the pump with the screw out. Have a helper so you don't run the pump or reservoir dry...high pressure. Fluid and crud should blow right out.
Replace cleaned bleeder screw and bleed with pump normally.
