It really sounds as if the plates are gummed together, The correct way is a complete strip down...but...you could drain the oil and replace it with kerosine, then run it for a few minutes the let the korosine circulate and clean out the old oil while working the clutch lever..It's not the right thing to do, but what have you got to lose..

If it works, drain all the kerosine out and replace it with cheap 15/40 mineral oil.
