Struggling to get four pots bled and working on classic....

Really strange. never had this problem before. I must have bled each corner 80 times in the end. Still a completely spongy brake pedal once I start the car up. Pumping it doesn't firm it up.
I did feel a bit like if I tried to tighten the brake line to caliper bolts right up they might thread, so maybe I haven't done them up enough? I was nervous about ruining any of the calipers. Can I be firm with them and really tighten them up hard or will they indeed thread?
I had to give up in the end and call it a night after spending all night at it. The other possibility is that the one man bleed kit that has been sat under a pile of parts in the garage for 6 months has got a damaged non return valve. I'll buy a new one tonight.
Any advice on those bolts would really help
