We study the conformal bootstrap of 1D CFTs on the straight Maldacena-Wilson line in 4D N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. We introduce an improved truncation scheme with an 'OPE tail' approximation and use it to reproduce the 'bootstrability' results of Cavagli\`a et al. for the OPE-coefficients squared of the first three unprotected operators. For example, for the first OPE-coefficient squared at 't Hooft coupling (4π)², linear-functional methods with two sum rules from integrated correlators give the rigorous result 0.294014873 ±4.88 ·10⁻⁸, whereas our methods give with machine-precision computations 0.294014228 ±6.77 ·10⁻⁷. For our numerical searches, we benchmark the Reinforcement Learning Soft Actor-Critic algorithm against an Interior Point Method algorithm (IPOPT) and comment on the merits of each algorithm.
