Depends on the cause of the low biting point.

Does your pedal have full/enough/correct amount of travel ?

Is there any slop in the mech before it can actually build hydraulic pressure in the line ?

And are the master/slave suitably sized ?

Solution is straightforward.

Gain more travel, leverage, whatever way you want to describe it, all the same deal. Just achievable in any or all of the areas mentioned above.

For some it will be simple adjustment, others may move mechanical leverage points, others may fit different master/slave combo's to achieve more leverage/travel etc etc

And if your bleed nipples are a ballix to access, just fit a remote nipple to where it is easy to access.
