Bad clutch master cylinder experiences?

It's unlikely that you got fluid over the clutch, but even if it was the case that would not explain your problem.

I can't help you much more. If the lines are good, the system is leak-free then you should be able to bleed it and use the clutch. Even if the slave/master were defective, you would be able to clutch for some time to my understanding.

To me there is a problem with your bleeding method. I will not insist once more on using pressure bleeding but did you at least bench bleed the slave (pre-fill it)? Because I am pretty confident that you will have a very hard time to bleed it else, especially using your method.

What you can do is take a syringe and prefill the slave with the bleeder block disconnected, then connect the bleeder block and continue the bleeding process. That might work.
