Have you ever tried this 'out of phase monitor mix trick' in this situation?

Basically, you record your track in the control room, and then record a second track from the EXACT SAME mic position, but don't sing into it (all it will capture is monitor bleed). Then, you flip this track 180 degrees out of phase with the vocal track, and alot of the monitor bleed cancels itself out.

I don't know if this ALSO messes with the vocal sound or not, perhaps some experienced engineers can comment on this.
