Substitute for AMDS to Bleed Sportshift?

I have a car with Sportshift 3 and need to replace the actuator. Is there any trick to get around using an AMDS to bleed the hydraulic system afterwards? Maybe an Autel or something similar will get you access?

I think a solid trick to bleeding the clutch circuit (which I don't need to do) is put the car on a lift. Start the engine, engage 1st (or Reverse) and the brake. This will keep constant pressure to the clutch circuit and should allow opening of the bleed screw as needed. I have not tried this but it should work.

I know the Launch X431 is popular with the Ferrari guys and they say they support ASM functions on Aston Martin.
