breaking in a new clutch is as simple as driving it. New clutches are just touchy. Its kind of like its either all engaged, or all disengaged, so be light with your left foot. Soon it will feel like you have more control over the level of engagement. I don't know what the limit of the stock clutch is though. Sorry.

be careful to follow break in procedures specifically for your clutch as different clutches break-in periods will be different, and certain clutches don't require break-ins at all.

As a general rule, I don't beat on clutches for the first few hundred miles. Let everything get nice and settled before any of those massive clutch-dropping burnouts and such
