Before you go nuts with newfangled bleeding gizmos, keep in mind that the last time I bled the clutch (and bled and bled and bled), what finally worked for me was to first do the old-fashioned pedal bleed. I think an air bubble accumulates in the line and makes its way back to the top of the oil line elbow under certain circumstances, and just sort of stays there while the fluid passes around or underneath it.
I found that using the pedal pump action worked, and just to be sure I applied pressure to the fluid reservoir while doing so. Also keep in mind that you'll have better luck if you intentionally overfill the reservoir (all the way to the top!), and then you can pressurize away without accidentally blowing air into the hydraulics once the clutch reservoir empties. Afterwards you can baster away the excess fluid.
Let us know if this works, or if something else you try does. Good luck!
