The short lived clutches with Lamborghinis isn't a Gallardo issue. The engine in the Gallardo doesn't need to be removed to change the clutch. My Gallardo was a 6 speed, I bought it new and drove it over 8,000 miles in one year, I did drive it fast and maybe drag raced the car like in 15 different times against other exotics. At the end of it all when I sold it, the clutch had like 80 percent of life left on it, I wouldn't worry about the clutch one bit.
