Perhaps unbolting the slave and hanging it higher than the master cylinder while bleeding would solve this issue?
Edit: Really thinking about doing this mod but I've already taken out the spring and I'm afraid the clutch will be too heavy after. After adjusting pedal height and removing the spring, the clutch feels pretty good and a good weight but I'm always open to further improvement.

I almost answered your question in the other thread. Then @
Tcoat went for it. With such narrow tubes moving a semi-viscous liquid, the air bubbles migrate upward MUCH more slowly than the overall flow during bleeding.
Reinstall the spring and swap. The change in ratio is what really restores the control in the clutch. Spring removal is a 'meh' change but I am way over trying to explain that to people.
