It is true that you have to bleed from slave to reservoir with an oil can to get all of the air out of the system. However, I think that once all the air is bled, it will be just fine to bleed from top down with a pressure bleeder. The clutch is a hydraulic system, meaning if you put pressure at one end of the system it will be transferred to the other end (the clutch wouldn't work otherwise). If air is in there, yeah it's impossible to pressure bleed. Once it's solid fluid though, just pump up the pressure tank and open the slave bleeder. Old fluid will shoot out followed by new fluid.

Suck out the master cylinder before you begin. Refill with new fluid. Fill your pressure bleeder with fluid. Bleed the right rear, left rear, right front, left front brake calipers on that order, and then the clutch system. You'll have all new fluid.
