This is as you say, a "trick-fix" It will only work for a while and will cause the clutch windings to get hotter and possibly damage it.
I did this same fix over a year ago so I know. I eventually bought a used compressor with a clutch that wasn't worn out.
Measure the gap between the clutch plates. If it is in the .030 range, remove it and remove shims to get it down to .015 or less. I have my old (spare) compressor with the clutch gap at .012.
