I'm sure there are some handicapped driver accessories.

Trade in for an auto?
I had a friend who had this issue with his beloved old Tacoma. Couldn’t manage shifting any more due to the bad knee. I looked into it for him and and long story short: no, there’s no reasonable way to lighten the clutch. Would be a pretty deep/involved/custom redesign type effort.

Fortunately for my buddy, knee replacement surgery was successful and he can enjoy driving his truck. I’d focus on doing everything possible to bring the knee back to health.
