One trick that has worked for me in the past is to block the clutch fork from moving with a 2x4, clamp or whatever works. That way you are applying full pressure against a solid object. Unlike bleeding brakes where the system is pressing against the drums or discs, if the clutch fork can move during bleeding, enough pressure may dissipate to allow some air to remain trapped in the system.
