I'd flush the fluid and actually firm up the clutch as much as possible
here's why
Once you do it, get a set of adjustable levers. Then you can adjust back the lever
and since the clutch will be very firm with new fluid a lot less travel will be necessary
to disengage the clutch with less travel and force required the result is less strain.
My two cents ......... it's how mine are setup. Clutch changing for me is but a quick
snap snap routine with very little lever travel
Also forgot to mention in my case I had to install new master and slave seals to make them firmer.
again to take as much lever travel out as possible

It's the opposite for me. Normal riding isnt bad but when I'm in traffic it gets bad. And then I ride the twisty's with lots of shifting my forearm gets tired and I start missing shifts. Though maybe some gripper work can help. I havent tried adjusting the levers since I got the bike so I should probably try that first.
