It should work, and I have used both types interchangeably on OBCs.
The BB seals in a ring around the tapered hole at the bottom of the threads. A tapered bleeder should work as long as its taper is more acute than that of the hole.
Easy enough to test it; tighten it up and push the brakes and see if it leaks.
