After bleeding, I have great difficulty to stop the leak at the screw (bleed valve) of the Magura clutch MC.
According to Magura documentation, the torque is 2 N.m but I have to tighten much more (with the risk of damaging the seat and/or thread).
Have you encountered the same problem?
 
Yep, mine is the same, I have to do it up way tighter than 2nm to stop is from sweating.
The first few rides after bleeding I just bring a shop towel and small wrench and just do it up a little at a time till it stops leaking.

As much as I would like to provide constructive feedback, are there even upgrades available?

I know there are brembo ones, but I dont think they run on the same fluid, so a compatible slave cylinder is required...

Worth mention: The factory service manual does not say to touch this bleed valve when bleeding the clutch or flushing the clutch system. Or for any other reason as best I can tell. They say to do it all via a push through the slave and drawing fluid from the master resevoir:

I just made the same damn mistake before I read the manual, of course. Hopefully this will save somebody else the trouble.
 
Read the manual?
I have mine printed out only so that I have a place to write down the work done with date and kilometer...
