Default Low speed high gear stalls in v.slippery conditions

I've posted about this before and am wondering about my options this year..

The problem is to find traction on my 05 300 during really slippery conditions I run a high gear and slip the clutch. Engine feels like it is usually just above tick over. My speed could be say 5-10mph.

In that condition I seem prone to stalling, maybe balancing the clutch and throttle for so long means occasionally I get it wrong.

I'm thinking if the motor had less power off the bottom maybe I'd be using a lower gear and higher rpm's so would be less likely to stall?

My thoughts are:

Live with it and get better at riding
Buy a 250
Remove the high volume PV chamber I have
Change the jetting
Buy a Rekluse (the pro's not available though I woulddn't pay for a new z start and the EXP sounds like it is for MX and doesn't have the adjustability...)

Any other thoughts.
