You need to find the sweet spot between the clutch and the gas. Practice on some hills where there is nobody else. Once you know how much gas to apply as you slowly let the clutch out you will be able to go up a massive hill in traffic with little to no rollback. I do it all the time on snow

But you need to practice this with no traffic until you find the comfort zone. Waiting to do it in traffic is just too stressful.
