Yes, before you look at replacement bridges, try "flattening" the current plate by sanding against a flat block. The vintage Fender bridges are relatively thin steel and the imprecise stamping frequently results in a plate that isn't quite flat, and this can produce squeal.
Thicker bridge plates (Fender Highway One, Joe Barden, Callaham) will solve this, as will a precision made Glendale plate. The thicker ones seem to produce more midrange at the loss of a little "twang" though.
