That Scripture is not doing what I guess you are thinking it does. We are given no details, but our common sense tells us that Thomas met and handled someone who looked like Jesus and Jesus assured that it was indeed Himself. Thomas simply exclaimed "My Lord and my God!" Not, "Lord, You don't feel quite as solid as you were before. What's different?"
That passage from Corinthians does not show that the resurrected Jesus was bloodless. I've never even thought of such a thing until it was posted upthread.

Jesus shed His blood on the cross.
The body He has now is NOT the body He was born into.
It is resurrected and transformed.
If it wasn’t, He could not have appeared through closed doors, nor survived the ascension.
Just because the body LOOKS the same, does not mean that it is intrinsically the same, that it is made of the same material as our human bodies, which can only survive within a very narrow range of parameters.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
