Change out the fluid to a DOT4 blend like Motul RBF600. You may also want to consider upgrading to a stainless steel clutch line. Neither of these are expensive and the install is very straightforward. The biggest pain in the *** is just getting the air out of the system once it's installed.

This has also happened to me but I was going sideways burning out (@A TRACK parking lot). The above options would be your best bet. I will be ordering some lines from Sam and changing out the fluid in the next month or so. Is the Motul RBF600 good for street use?
